CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Despite their back-to-back losses to the Lightning and Flames, the Penguins (3-2-2) have gotten through the early weeks of this season surprisingly well, considering that they've already been forced to play without their top three centers, both first-line wingers and their No. 1 defenseman at various times.
And, in several cases, at the same time.
So, how long do you think they can continue to collect points with the injury-diluted lineup they've bee forced to use, and what do you think is a realistic expectation for this team when it is reasonably healthy?
This is the place to discuss that, and anything else pertaining to the NHL or NHL. Post your questions and observations in the Comments section and I will respond to them over the course of the day.
