The Pittsburgh Penguins sit at 4-2-1, still a very respectable record to begin the season. All their losses have come in Canada (Montreal, Edmonton, and most recently, Calgary).

The Penguins have been marred early on by sluggish starts or lousy stretches of play during games. Are these warning signs magnified by shoddier depth players who are offensively inconsistent?
