In the immediate aftermath of Friday’s loss to Montreal, coach Mike Sullivan said what he could after an afternoon where he didn’t look to have any answers or ability to change what was happening.
“I thought the first two games, we played extremely well,” Sullivan said. “I thought the first game might’ve been our best. We didn’t get the power play going, but every other aspect of our game. We needed to have our best game [Friday]; we didn’t get it.”
That’s putting it mildly. Or whatever is less than that.
The Penguins only generated 22 shots on goal, total, in the game.
