Seems to be a trick our guys don't know.
I’m not worried. One of Eller, Zohorna, Acciari, DOC, Rakell, Carts, Harkins, Malkin, Graves, Petterson, Ludvig or Ruh will get one for us.

Beauty by Eller! Sully needs to break up the first PP unit.

Smith was decisive and basic on this PP which led to this goal.Nice shot from Eller after that pass.

Followed up with a lousy shift where every guy had no idea what to do.

Yeah, lucky bounce for them and a nice goal.

We need to score a bunch tonight and we really should get 5 or something. Ottawa is trash.

They are trash but we can be a dumpster fire too, add in that it’s a hockey night IN Canada this could be a bad loss like 6-2 or something stupid.

Can't get my head around how bad he's played so far. I'm convinced he'd be a much improved on a different team, if you catch my drift.

Worse signing than Jack Johnson and I don’t see a way out of this one either.

Friedman says Pens looking for a dman and it's got to be a replacement for Graves. They have plenty of bottom pair options already.

Kind of like Riikola looking better at everything than Johnson

Pens with hardly any Offensive Pressure that Period,no forecheck or any chances generated in the Ottawa D Zone.
A 5 on 3 PP,another embarrassing failure.Cute touch passing from EK and aimless zone entries.Smith and Eller went with the right approach to score the goal.
Ottawa put a lot of emphasis on working the Pens D down low and behind the net.
Another invisible effort from Malkin.Rakell was a non entity as well.
Didn't like the overall energy from the Pens from the start.A constant and uncorrected issue this entire season.
