CRANBERRY, Pa. -- The Penguins have won four of their past five games and, perhaps more important, some key players have elevated their games lately.
Tristan Jarry is coming off a very good week and Kris Letang had his best showing of the season during their 3-2 victory against the New York Islanders Saturday, when they even got a power-play goal. (Honest.) And needed just 12 seconds to do it.
Still, there are issues before them, most notably that Evgeni Malkin still hasn't found his game. So, has their recent surprise changed your opinion about their chances of getting into the playoffs -- or of sticking around a while if they do? What do you think could get Malkin on track? What kind of personnel move would you like to see Ron Hextall explore?
This is the place to discuss all of that, and anything else to do with the Penguins or hockey in general. Post your questions and observations in the Comments section and I'll respond to them over the course of the day.
