"They continue to be road warriors as they are 14-7-4 on the road but just 11-7-7 at home. One of the reasons for their success this season is deeper scoring. While they are not an elite offense, they have received more contributions throughout the lineup than they did last season. Forwards Anthony Mantha and Justin Brazzeau have provided that secondary scoring, adding a combined 60 points and both have been a breath of fresh air."
"Goaltender Stuart Skinner, acquired from the Edmonton Oilers, has been excellent between the pipes since his arrival. he is 6-4 with a .902 save percentage, a 2.34 goals against average, and is 4-1 in his last five games. Another newcomer is goaltender Arturs Silovs, who has been reliable in the backup spot with a 9-6 record, a ,892 save percentage, and a 3.00 goals against average,"
Pittsburgh owns a 25-14-11 record and sits second in the Metropolitan Division with a 166-150 goal differential and a 4-0-1 recent stretch. Road play has been stronger (14-7-4) than home (11-7-7). Scoring depth has improved, with Anthony Mantha and Justin Brazzeau combining for 60 points to provide secondary offense alongside Sidney Crosby, Bryan Rust, Evgeni Malkin and Erik Karlsson. Goaltenders Stuart Skinner (6-4, .902, 2.34 GAA) and Arturs Silovs (9-6, .892, 3.00 GAA) have stabilized the position. The team has $26.7 million projected cap space and several movable UFAs.
