The Penguins yesterday let two important points slip away in the Metro Division standings, losing to one of the NHL’s worst teams.
Paul Steigerwald has the story.
REACTIONS:
An angry coach Mike Sullivan was in no mood to talk after the game. He says the Penguins have to learn from this loss and move on.
With all of his skaters healthy for only the second time this season, Sullivan decided to bench Kasperi Kapanen for the game, in favor of Brian Boyle. He said it was not an easy choice.
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby says the Penguins, who beat Detroit 7-2 on Saturday, missed an opportunity.
Crosby says the Penguins simply should have been better.
Entering the final week of the season, the Penguins lead the Capitals by one point in the Metro Division standings, but the Capitals have three games left while the Pens have only two.
Washington plays the Islanders twice, starting tomorrow night, and closes out the regular season with the second-place Rangers. The Penguins have two games, both at home, against the tough Edmonton Oilers tomorrow night and the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday.
