Need a kill here and maybe change the momentum a bit. Pens are playing/skating well.
Only down 2-1, win this period and we can take this.

Komarov did good again.

Our PK generates more offense than our PP

The way 2nd periods have been for us I’m happy to only be down a goal.

Komarov did good again.

Almost makes one think he should play with Pageau more often. 🤔

Care to point out who on the team has looked better? At least he's hitting and working well.ok the pk with pageau

What’s the point? Move along.

Pageau should play more often. It seems like he's the only one winning battles.

You should PLEASE !

And break up the offensive juggernaut that is our top line? Pffffff.

Maybe. Good penalty kill by him.

The point is at least he showed up to play which is more than I can say for barzal and eberle and wally and Palmieri goal aside

He looked good on that pk. I honestly don’t see anything else he’s doing good for the first line. I think Pageau has been really good, Palmieri at times, and Beauvillier who should’ve scored a couple times and flubbed it. Agree to disagree

He really does try to be a pain in the opponents ass every shift.

Blasphemy, I know.

Best player on the ice so far. Tough to call with Komarov though

No luck on that op on the PK just deflects away from the goal. Gotta keep working and pick up the physicality.

The team as a whole isn't good only a few are working and making plays

Just works his ass off every shift.

That I agree on I just don’t see Komarov as the guy that’s in the group that’s working. I should add effectively.

I don't see why saying the guy was the best player in a period is such a controversial thing. At least he was noticeable which is more than you can say for the rest of them unless Mayfield being noticeable in a bad way counts

Again I'm not saying he's the best player on the team just he has the best 1st period

Sorokin.
In all seriousness, Leo has been pretty good but none of those three on the top line have been able to create any opportunities. Ebs has had a few times where he nearly got free in high danger areas, but Pittsburgh has committed to swarming him and Barzy, which was the risk of not having a third offensive threat on that line that we discussed going in.
Beau has been pretty intense too, but we need someone like Palmieri, Martin or Brock to win a battle in tight
