Who Are the Penguins Beating and Who’s Beating Us?
With the Penguins in the midst of their bye week and ideas for other articles in the embryonic stage, I thought I’d pluck some low-lying fruit and answer a question that’s been buzzing around in the back of my brain.
Specifically, which teams are we beating and which teams are beating us? It’s been my sense that the Pens have struggled against the better teams in the league going back to the second half of last season. An indicator of our decline in status from a potential Cup contender to also-ran.
I decided to look at our record against every team in the league, broken down by Conference and Division but also by playoff and non-playoff teams for games played through January 30.
