Sidney Crosby remains a bright spot for the struggling Pittsburgh Penguins, who are facing a tough season with a 3-6-1 record and a dismal goal differential. After a disappointing road trip, the team has allowed the most goals in the NHL, and their goaltending situation is uncertain with Tristan Jarry in the AHL and rookie Joel Blomqvist stepping up.

Despite Blomqvist's promising performances, the Penguins' defense has faltered, leading to a series of losses, including a recent defeat against the Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks, revitalized under former Penguins personnel, are enjoying a strong start to their season, further highlighting Pittsburgh's struggles.

As the Penguins look to regroup, there is still hope for improvement, but the pressure is mounting for the organization to turn things around quickly.
