The Pittsburgh Penguins showed improvement in their 3-2 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings, overcoming a cautious start to dominate the third period. Despite the loss, the team felt positive about their performance, with Bryan Rust and Sidney Crosby leading the charge. The Penguins' main issue remains a lack of scoring depth, prompting coach Mike Sullivan to experiment with line changes, including using Drew O'Connor at center. This adjustment could provide a solution to their scoring woes, but it remains to be seen if Sullivan will commit to this strategy.
