The Penguins returned from the Olympic break and dispatched the New Jersey Devils, even without Sidney Crosby. Paul Steigerwald has the recap.
Coach Dan Muse says there was some rust and too much time spent killing penalties, but the Pens got it together in the third period.
The Penguins have the toughest schedule in the NHL for the rest of the season, based on the current winning percentage of their opponents. After playing the Rangers tomorrow, wrapping up two games against teams not currently in the playoff picture, they play Vegas on Sunday, then the Bruins, Sabres, Flyers, and Bruins again in the next week.
