The Pittsburgh Penguins broke their losing streak on Saturday with a win against the LA Kings but then lost the following day to the Anaheim Ducks. Paul Steigerwald reports.
Pens head coach Dan Muse said that there are still things that need to be corrected with the game, even in the even-strength situations.
Evgeni Malkin says the team is in a tough spot, but they are trying to remain positive for their next game in San Jose.
The Pens will play San Jose Wednesday night, and after that, its back to the Burgh for a game Saturday night at PPG Paints Arena against the Ottawa Senators.
Before the game, the Pens recalled forward Rutger McGroarty from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Baby Pens. Later on, Ville Koivunen was listed as “day to day” due to an undisclosed injury. Last time McGroarty was on the Pens roster, he played in two games and was held without a point but averaged 13:40 of ice time per contest. He is the leading scorer for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton with six goals and six assists.
