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.

Matt Boldy has points in back-to-back games and has been excellent since returning from the 4 Nations tournament, where he had a really good showing. The offense flows through Boldy without Kaprizov in the lineup and he's on pace to beat his career-best 69 points. Boldy has 54 points through 63 games and should be able to snag one more today.
