They led the league in scoring by double digits and they have hardly been healthy. Scary forward depth.
04/22/201322
It's rather remarkable how this team has come together in the absence of two former Hart Trophy winners and another 40-goal scorer. Only a six-game win streak and the top seed in the East.

They have won four in a row and eight of 10 without Sidney Crosby and until recently Kris Letang, among others. That leaves them seven points up in the Eastern Conference. It's safe to say the road in the East goes through Pittsburgh.

We have a new No. 1. A 15-game win streak and the most points in the league will do that. ... Luckily for them they are in good enough position that they just need to worry that Sidney Crosby is healthy for the playoffs.

Make it 12 straight wins and counting. This is starting to resemble what the Blackhawks did to start the season. And think, they're doing this without Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin.

Forget points streaks, this is a nine-game winning streak and that includes two wins over Boston. Their 108 goals are 13 more than any other team.

The Pens have given up at least three goals in 7 of 8 games. That's the bad. They've won six of those, including five straight. That's the good.

Truth be told, I didn't want to put them this high but I didn't see anybody screaming to be higher ... Yes, they lost two last week but it's also only fair to mention they didn't have this really good player named Evgeni Malkin.

They are hardly a flawless team yet as the Flyers showed, but they're still potent. They have a power-play goal in each of the last 11 games ... They did fine minus Sidney Crosby last season, can they do it sans Evgeni Malkin now?
02/18/201348
Take away last weekend's home-and-home sweep at the hands of the Devils and the Penguins have won eight in a row. Even with those losses, eight out of 10 ain't bad, now is it?

The big question: was last postseason's showing an aberration or is the defense really that abhorrent? We lean toward the former. ... Don't underestimate the addition of Tomas Vokoun as a backup to Marc-Andre Fleury.
