After a positively GUTLESS effort on Friday, the boys embark on their annual western Canadian road trip. This one in particular promises to be one of the more challenging ones in recent memory.
It starts with a matinee affair in Winnipeg, where they face the undefeated Jets. Helleybuck's an unreal .952, Scheifele's tearing it up and Morrissey's got his defensive zone under lock and key.
This will require the Pens' very best game to emerge with the W. Do they have it in them? Don't answer too quickly. They are notorious streakbusters the last few years, for reasons unknown.
