There won’t be much to talk about from the Pittsburgh Penguins until later this weekend when their season resumes following the NHL Christmas break. The entire league is on hiatus until Saturday, but the Penguins will enjoy an extra day off before returning to action on Sunday against the Chicago Blackhawks in the Windy City.
Based on what we have seen from the Penguins leading into the break, this time off might be coming at the perfect moment, giving the players a chance to get away from the rink
for a few days to rest and recuperate with their families and put hockey on the back burner for a bit and hopefully reset.
Pens Points…
