The Penguins have three more games on the schedule in 2021, but considering the unknown COVID environment and having two of those game scheduled to be played across the border in Canada, who knows if they will happen.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have played 86 regular season games in the calendar year of 2021, putting up an impressive 54-24-8 record. That makes for a .671 points%, which ranks eighth in the NHL this year. For all the talk and speculation of predicting the team’s downfall, they still are among the very best teams in the NHL.
With calendar 2021 is about over and with a pause in the action now, it’s a good time to take a look at the best in a very odd, disjointed, uneven, injury and illness-filled year.
