Coming off of a Dr. Jekyll and Hyde like performance against the Ducks of Anaheim it was time for the Pens to visit Ducks’ Freeway rivals, the Los Angeles Kings. The first leg of the back-to-back was entertaining and kind of cringy. Pens got many things right but there was an air of uncertainty on the ice with loads of miscommunication and general ‘out of sync-ness’. Luckily the game didn’t look like the 2017 Pens. 2018 Pens are a whole different beast.
Let’s get the pleasantries out of the way…
Loss tonight makes the penguins more likely to miss the playoffs than not for the first time this season.
