Whatever good feeling the Penguins had from this past stretch of good results was quickly washed away with a letdown performance against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night. Bryan Rust broke out of his goal scoring drought with a hat trick but he was the only Pens player to show up to United Center for the game as the Blackhawks broke an eight game losing streak with a 6-3 victory.

The Penguins return to action on Friday night back home at PPG Paints Arena taking on the Boston Bruins.
