With the All-Star break approaching in a week, and the season now beyond the halfway point, we are starting to get into “four-point game” territory where every head-to-head matchup can make a big impact on the standings.
The Penguins have two of those games over the next week when play the Florida Panthers and Washington Capitals, two teams that are involved in the Eastern Conference playoff fight with the Penguins.
Even though the Penguins dropped a tough overtime game on Sunday (ANOTHER overtime game) I do not hate where they are over the past few games, especially with Tristan Jarry and Jeff Petry back in the lineup and Kris Letang’s return hopefully looming somewhere around the corner.
