PITTSBURGH — The Penguins this calendar year have had few convincing wins, the rare complete game in which they actually displayed focus and fire from wire to wire.
Sunday’s win at PPG Paints Arena was definitely not one of them. But one dominant period was enough to eke one out against one of the NHL’s worst teams.
Propelled by a two-goal evening from Rickard Rakell, the Penguins jumped out to a 3-0 lead on the rival Philadelphia Flyers before holding on to win 4-2.
