It’s a new day and new chances for new players wearing a Pittsburgh Penguins (24-31-10) sweater. Sunday, the Penguins face the Minnesota Wild (36-23-4) at Xcel Energy Center.

The puck drops just after 3:30 p.m. EST.

The big picture for this Penguins team is not pleasant. The team has the second-worst goal differential in the league (-57) and the fifth-worst record. With a win on Saturday, the Seattle Kraken passed the Penguins, improving the Penguins’ draft spot to fifth overall.
