Another one bites the bust. Hunter is here to recap Monday's terrible 2-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators and yes, the Pittsburgh Penguins let another one slip away. Hunter discusses why this one was very similar to last week's loss against the Montreal Canadiens (minus Jarry's struggles) and why these types of losses keep happening. He credits Dylan Ferguson for the win but also goes after the Penguins for not generating enough good looks from the slot/high-danger area. In other words, the Penguins didn't make him work nearly enough as they should have. After that, Hunter brings up the repeated topic of Brian Dumoulin and why Mike Sullivan's job might be tied to this. He breaks down Dumoulin's role for another goal against as he was puck-watching the entire time and didn't come close to making a play on Batherson. Why does he continually get on the ice in these situations? Hunter tries his best to answer it before moving on to Tristan Jarry's performance and why he stepped up when he needed to for this team to have a chance. He then analyzes Mikael Granlund's game and why he hasn't been a good fit since he was acquired at the deadline, plus ponders whether or not this loss is the dagger because of the upcoming schedule. All that, plus much more is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.
