Tell me if you have heard this story before, but the Pittsburgh Penguins are creeping up in the standings. The Penguins are currently in Fourth Place in the Metro Division, just 2 points behind the Capitals for 3rd place, and only Five points behind the Rangers, for First Place. The Pens just rattled off a 10-Game winning streak and Malkin has now returned from his knee injury. We all should celebrate.
True that, except for, as we speak, Five Penguin Players are currently on the IR, under Covid Protocols. Yikes. Can you say, here we go again.
