The Penguins got off on the right skate last night as they opened their stretch of seven straight games against teams currently holding a playoff slot, knocking off Tampa Bay in Florida.
Paul Steigerwald has the recap.
Coach Mike Sullivan says Geno Malkin is melting the ice right now.
Sullivan says the Penguins can hardly play any better than they did last night.
When the frustrated Tampa Bay players turned “chippy”, Sullivan says his guys maintained their composure.
