They are playing well.

And they won again last night, a team that they were competing head-to-head with, Detroit, and they beat them.

They're on a roll.

Penguins don't historically play well in Ottawa, but they better change that.

If not, you've got Dallas coming up next week.

And even though a lot of people look at their schedule and say it lightens up after that,

When you have Florida back-to-back, because they're not a playoff team, that's not lightening up.

You're playing a two-time defending champ that knows how to win.

And two against the Caps, who will take great delight in beating the Penguins.

And Tampa Bay, too, on that schedule.

So they've got a lot of tough games.

They just have to get back to what they were doing, which was not...

Giving the puck away at critical times, like right off the bat last night, Parker Wotherspoon tried to make a little play around Nathan McKinnon.

It's the wrong guy to do that to.

Right.

Now, goaltending's got to get better.

They're not making saves collectively that they need to make.

All of it is on the table right now, and we'll see what they have.

They've been good about bouncing back, Joe, but this is going to be a hard bounce back.

By the way, they have the Islanders on the schedule too, right after Dallas.
