The Pittsburgh Penguins FINALLY got a shutout win on Thursday night as they made it look easy against the Nashville Predators. To start the show, Hunter touches on how the Penguins defended at a very high level and why they needed to show that they can win games like this during this time of year. It doesn't matter who the opponent is. If you can't win a close game like this, even when you're outplaying the other team, then you won't go far in the playoffs. Hunter analyzes how the Penguins' breakouts were super crisp and why outside of a couple of unfortunate bounces, they were able to get the puck back with ease in the defensive zone. After that, he praises both Jason Zucker and Jake Guentzel for their goals as they continue to stay hot as the season winds down. Hunter even compliments Brian Dumoulin for one heck of a curl & drag move that he made to set up Zucker's goal. He then looks at how Tristan Jarry was stellar in the net and why they will need him to play like that in most of their final games if they want to make the dance yet again. Finally, Hunter ends the show with a look ahead to this weekend as it has the potential to be quite the spectacle at PPG Paints Arena.
