The Pittsburgh Penguins are looking to rebound after missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year, finishing last season with a record of 38-32-12. With Mike Sullivan at the helm, the team aims to navigate the twilight years of franchise icons Crosby, Malkin, and Letang while also preparing for the future. Despite a roster featuring established stars, the Penguins struggled last season, particularly on the power play, finishing 30th in the league. The addition of players like Kevin Hayes and Sebastian Aho, along with a potential bounce-back from Erik Karlsson, could help alleviate some pressure on Crosby and Malkin. The success of the season will heavily depend on the performance of these key players and their supporting cast.
