Pierre McGuire returns for his weekly breakdown to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins — from their five-point road trip to the late-game growing pains of a young roster.

Pierre dives deep into the Penguins’ evolving identity under a new coaching staff, why Tristan Jarry has earned the net, and how shootout struggles continue to haunt an otherwise surging team. The guys also hit on special teams improvements, defensive pairings, standout performances from Erik Karlsson and Evgeni Malkin, and why players like Brazeau represent Pittsburgh’s future.

Plus, Pierre explains how the Olympic year changes everything — from roster decisions to load management — and why teams across the NHL are scrambling to bank points before February.
