If there was any positive to take out of the Pittsburgh Penguins game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night, it is the fact Sidney Crosby scored two goals. They were not only his first two goals of the season…
PensBurgh analyst Adam Gretz argues that the Pittsburgh Penguins need their veteran top forward line to improve both its production and defensive play. Despite Sidney Crosby scoring two goals against the Chicago Blackhawks, the top combination of Crosby, Rickard Rakell, and Bryan Rust has struggled, being outscored 3-2 across 35 minutes together this season despite favorable offensive deployment.
Gretz highlights concerns regarding the aging trio, noting Crosby is 39, Rust is 34, and Rakell is 33. The writer suggests Pittsburgh must decide whether to wait for the veterans to regain form or consider reintroducing Nicholas Robertson to the top unit after Robertson found strong analytical success alongside Crosby and Rakell earlier in the year.
