The Penguins losing streak continues with a loss last night in Tampa Bay. Paul Steigerwald has the recap.
Jake Guentzel had the Penguins only goal, in the final minute of the game. The Penguins were outshot, 28-24. They were 0-for-5 on the power play, including a 5-on-3 for 39 seconds, and they have not scored with the man advantage in their last twelve games.
Coach Mike Sullivan says the Penguins were trying to make the extra pass rather than taking the shots that were available to them.
Sullivan says the Penguins aren’t playing with confidence.
Forward Bryan Rust left the game in the second period with an undisclosed upper body injury that Sullivan said was being evaluated.
The Penguins yesterday sent defenseman P.O. Joseph to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on a conditioning assignment. He’s missed the last fourteen games with an undisclosed injury.
Next up for the Penguins is a trip to Sunrise, Florida to play the Panthers tomorrow.
