Penguins get a WEEKEND SPLIT in California, but the power play struggles

The Penguins got a win over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, but dropped their Sunday night matchup to the Anaheim Ducks, both by a score of 5-2. Patrick is flying solo this week on the Locked On Penguins Podcast as Hunter is off on his honeymoon! Patrick begins the show by recapping the Penguins' 5-2 win over the LA Kings on Saturday night, gives Sidney Crosby his flowers for moving into sixth all-time in NHL scoring, and a discussion about Tommy Novak and the value he brings to the Penguins, and potentially, another team. He also gives out his Three Stars of the Game. (0:00) Then, just one night later, the Penguins lost to the Anaheim Ducks 5-2, and a large reason for the loss was a power play that was unable to take advantage of a golden opportunity in the second period. Patrick puts forth some ideas on how to fix the Penguins' putrid power play, and gives out his Three Shames of the Game. (12:09) Finally, the Penguins will finish the California swing in San Jose on Tuesday night, and then Ottawa comes to town on Saturday night. Patrick takes a quick look at those games, and then goes on an impassioned rant about the New Jersey Devils' decision to sit Connor Hellebyuck against his former team later this week and how it's an indictment of the NHL for always playing it safe. (23:46)
