The Penguins seem to have righted their defensive ship, winning their second straight game after the All-Star break, last night in Ottawa.
Paul Steigerwald has the recap of the Pens’ shutout win.
Coach Mike Sullivan says his team played the way he wants them to play.
Sullivan says he knew goaltender Casey DeSmith was ready to play last night.
Sidney Crosby did not get his 500th career goal last night but he was again a dominant force on the ice. Sullivan says Sid sets the tone for the Penguins.
Goaltender Casey DeSmith says his defense made things easy for him.
Center Jeff Carter, who had the game-winning goal, says they played Penguins hockey against a very good team.
Sullivan said before the game that Drew O’Connor has resumed full contact practice with the team. He’s been out since January 15th with a reported collapsed lung. Evgeni Malkin should be back in the lineup on Sunday after a bout with covid.
The Penguins hit the ice again Sunday at 1:30 at New Jersey.
