"Penguins Blog: Sullivan's Progress & Post-Game Insights"
The Pittsburgh Penguins have shown both promise and inconsistency in their recent games, with coach Mike Sullivan making lineup decisions that have yielded mixed results. The team is still searching for more consistent play and the ability to stack wins. Sullivan has opted to scratch Vinnie Hinostroza in favor of Jansen Harkins, both of whom bring speed and different strengths to the lineup. Jeff Carter's defensive contributions and faceoff wins have earned him a place in the lineup, but the prospect of Harkins and Hinostroza's speed is tantalizing. Goaltender Tristan Jarry has been solid in recent games, helping the team rally to a 10-10-0 record. Alex Nylander, who has been playing with Evgeni Malkin, has yet to make a significant impact, while Erik Karlsson's high-risk style of play adds to the team's already high-risk tolerance.
