Penguins:
For the first time in 2021-22, the Pens didn’t lose to the Carolina Hurricanes.
Sunday’s 4-2 home win at PPG Paints Arena was the Penguins’ first win against the Hurricanes in the third and final meeting between the two Metropolitan Division foes this regular season.
The victory carried plenty of weight in the standings. Even with the win, there is a big gap between the second-place Penguins (36-15-9, 81 points) and the Hurricanes (41-13-5, 87 points).
Tristan Jarry was the Penguins’ best player as he stopped 41 shots improving his record to 29-12-6.
Pens play in Nashville against the Predators tomorrow at 8pm.
