Penguins’ Unseen Struggles: What Their Recent Stretch Could Mean for the Future
In the game against the Maple Leafs, the winning goal came as a result of blown coverage by young defensemen Owen Pickering and Harrison Brunicke in the defensive zone. During the Washington game, the Capitals kept pushing, and the Penguins’ net-front play kept failing them. Against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday, the lone regulation goal by the Devils came as a result of an egregious defensive zone turnover by Kris Letang that directly resulted in a goal.

Grits blew the roof off this place.
And it didn’t stop there. On the Kings’ second goal Sunday, Letang engaged in an ill-advised pinch, forward Anthony Mantha didn’t cover, and Ryan Shea was left hanging out to dry. And, on the game-winning goal by Kevin Fiala, Erik Karlsson simply got walked near the net front.
