Pens Preview Game 49- Sharks vs. Penguins: Sharks Circling
Will The Wounded Penguins Be Shark Bait? Oh, overtime! It was unkind to the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again in Washington on Thursday. They played a strong game but couldn't wrap it up with a win in regulation or OT and were pushed to a shootout after four periods of hockey zapped the energy of their overworked top stars. The result was a crapshoot of a loss on penalty shots, 3-2 to the Capitals. (Yuck.) It was their fifth trip to extra time in the last six games and the Pens h

Pens Preview Game 45- Senators vs. Penguins: The Sequel
The Home & Home Series Comes To The Steel City. One game of progress in overtime for the Penguins was followed by one game of setbacks. They fell to the Senators 5-4 in OT on Wednesday right after they seem to make a breakthrough in their ability to close during in sudden death against Anaheim to start the week. This is typical for the up-and-down fortune of the Pens lately. But they'll immediately get another chance to avenge the loss against the Senators at home on Friday.
