Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning…
The Pittsburgh Penguins welcomed old running mates to remember and honor the 10th anniversary of the 2016 Stanley Cup-winning team before Saturday’s game against the New York Rangers, including that team’s fourth line of Eric Fehr, Matt Cullen and Tom Kuhnhackl. Those players (among the rest of the bottom-six) made key contributions on the scoresheet, which helped round out that championship side. Fast forward 10 years, and we’re seeing that trend emerge again. [Trib Live]
