Why the Penguins’ Surprising Lineup Choice Could Make or Break Their Playoff Run
When a team goes down 3-0 in a Stanley Cup Playoff series, there typically isn’t a whole lot going right. And it typically takes something close to divine intervention to come all the way back, as it’s only happened four times in the history of the NHL.
So, when that fourth game ends up in the “W” column, it makes sense not to change anything and roll with whatever was working game-by-game.
And the Pittsburgh Penguins are doing exactly that.
After finding themselves in that 3-0 opening-round series hole against the Philadelphia Flyers, the Penguins managed to stave off elimination with a 4-2 win in Game 4 to force a fifth game on Monday in Pittsburgh. And, understandably, they’re going with the same exact lineup they went with on Saturday, which includes rookie Arturs Silovs getting the nod between the pipes for the second consecutive game.
