Overall the past month the Pittsburgh Penguins are definitely playing better hockey and getting the 2023-24 season back on track. Even with Thursday’s overtime loss the Penguins are 9-3-2 over their past 15 games in the past calendar month and have one of the NHL’s best records during that time. That also includes improving 5-on-5 numbers that still place them among the league’s best.
Sidney Crosby is playing great, they are seeing some improved play from some of their depth players and they are inching their way back toward a potential Stanley Cup Playoff spot.
