It can't be easy to be a Penguins fan these days. Of the Penguins' last 12 losses, nine have occurred by only one goal. Pittsburgh's previous two games have been fierce. The Penguins, leading by four goals this past Saturday, lost in overtime to the Sharks, 6-5. They led by three goals and then lost in overtime to the Mammoth, 4-3, two days ago, marking a fifth consecutive loss, with four coming either in a shootout or overtime. The cure here is to back the Penguins on the puck line. Pittsburgh still has the fifth-best winning percentage in the Eastern Conference despite multiple blown leads. If given 1.5 goals, the Penguins would be 15-3 in their last 18 games. This is Pittsburgh's finale of a five-game homestand. Edmonton comes visiting just 6-7 in its previous 13 games, with old pal Tristan Jarry expected to be in the net. Jarry played for Pittsburgh for nine seasons. The Penguins certainly know his tendencies. Take the Penguins on the puck line.
