Sidney Crosby returned to the lineup — but it wasn’t enough for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
On this episode we break down the Penguins’ loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in Crosby’s return and what it says about the team as they continue to fight for playoff positioning.
The guys also discuss whether Pittsburgh’s recent stretch without Crosby may have actually helped certain players step up — and what that means moving forward.
Plus, we dive into several other key storylines from around the NHL:
• The Washington Capitals pick up a win as Lane Hutson makes his debut
• What the loss means for the Ottawa Senators’ playoff chances
• The New York Islanders sign Cole Eiserman and Kashawn Aitcheson to ELC's
• “This or That” — Stars vs Avalanche or the field to win the Stanley Cup
• David Pagnotta joins for the latest from around the league, including college free agents and GM Meetings buzz
With the playoff race tightening and young talent entering the league, we break down everything you need to know.
