The Penguins are in the middle of a wobble.
After riding a 15-3-3 stretch into the holiday break, Pittsburgh has now lost five games on the spin , is sitting outside of theplayoff picture in the jam-packed Metropolitan Division, and lost starting goaltender Tristan Jarry to injury during its 2-1 loss to the Bruins in the Winter Classic at Fenway Park.
And this isn’t just some unlucky blip. Pittsburgh’s play has legitimately dropped off over the last five weeks. Since Dec. 1, the Penguins rank 25th in five-on-five goal differential, 24th in shot attempt rate, 18th in expected goals percentage, and 19th in high-danger scoring chance rate.New customers only.

Jack Eichel seems set to return to the lineup and should provide a huge boost for the Golden Knights as they look to solidify their spot atop the Pacific Division.
