In their last game against the Ottawa Senators, despite a strong offensive effort with 34 shots and 4 goals scored, defensive lapses led to a narrow overtime loss.

Prior to that, the Penguins secured a win in a shootout against the Carolina Hurricanes after ending regular and overtime play tied with one goal each. They demonstrated resilience on special teams by not conceding any powerplay goals and winning half of their faceoffs.

Against the Minnesota Wild, Pittsburgh showcased effective scoring efficiency with four goals from just 30 shots – an impressive shooting percentage over 13 percent. Their powerplay was particularly lethal, scoring two out of five chances.
