CRANBERRY, Pa. -- With Tuesday's Penguins-Devils game being postponed and the NHL going on a league-wide pause on Wednesday, Tuesday's practice was the Penguins' last team activity before the holiday break.
The vibe at the Lemieux Complex on Tuesday was not unlike that of the last day of school before a holiday break. All it was missing was Mike Sullivan wheeling a TV into the locker room and putting on the movie "Elf" for everyone. It was high-energy and fun, with players celebrating hard for seemingly every single goal scored.
There wasn't any special teams work, and no real five-on-five drills with line rushes.
