NHL Division Outlook: Metropolitan
Pittsburgh Penguins
The Penguins have been among the NHL elite for years. That is in large part due to having Sidney Crosby on the roster.
Eastern Conference Standing: 1st
Division: 1st (40-15-3) 83 points
Record for the last 10 games before the Olympic Break: 6-3-1
Top Scorers
- Sidney Crosby :28 G, 50 A, 78 P
- Evgeni Malkin: 18 G, 40 A, 58 P
- Chris Kunitz: 27 G, 28A, 55 p
It’s clear that the Penguins have the talent and experience to make a deep playoff run this season, however there may be a need for a top five D-man. Adding to their Stanley Cup worries is starting goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. Fleury has been unable to string together a solid playoff series over the past few seasons. However is this regular season is any indication the Penguins may be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
