Penguins Update: Where Have All the Goals Gone? And Who’s Not Scoring Them.

Related Topics: Jake Guentzel, Sidney Crosby

It’s no secret. Our Penguins are having difficulty scoring. Grave(s) difficulty. Incredibly, we’re tied with Arizona for 25th (out of 32 teams) in goals per game with 2.87. We rank a lowly 28th in goal production with 149 non-shootout goals.

Positively pop-gun output.

Fifty-three of those goals, or a whopping 36 percent, have come via the stick blades of our new Two-Headed Monster, Sidney Crosby (31) and Jake Guentzel (22). Alone, Crosby has accounted for nearly 21 percent of our output, or roughly one out of every five black-and-gold goals.
