Penguins go streaking for a change, prey on Predators

And now for something completely different …

Well, perhaps not completely, but not far from it.

With their 3-0 victory over Nashville at PPG Paints Arena Saturday night, the Penguins have won two games in a row.

That might not seem like a major accomplishment — mostly because it isn’t — but while it’s not quite unprecedented this season, it hasn’t exactly been routine for the Penguins, either.

Fact is, they’ve now done it just twice since completing a four-game winning streak Dec. 3, having also recorded back-to-back wins Dec. 17 and 19.

This victory raised the Penguins’ record to 22-24-8 and allowed them to remain on the periphery of the chase for the second wild-card playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.
