On Tuesday night, the Pittsburgh Penguins allowed a two-goal lead to slip away in the third period for the second straight game and dropped the game to Tampa Bay in overtime, 3-2.
The Penguins lost for the fourth time in five games and have lost 12 of their last 16. Letting leads slip away late in games has been a common theme for the Pens lately. Head coach Mike Sullivan says there’s a solution for that. “Because we have to compete harder. We need more guys to compete harder and pay more attention to detail, and we need to take more pride in playing defense. “
It does not get any easier for the Penguins on Friday. The Winnipeg Jets come to town, Winnipeg leading all of the NHL in wins. They’re 16-3 on the season.
