DK's Daily Shot of Penguins: Too much to ask Penguins' goaltenders to make a save?

Dan Kovacevic of DK Pittsburgh Sports delivers a critical analysis of the Pittsburgh Penguins' recent performance, focusing heavily on the team's goaltending struggles. Despite a 6-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, Kovacevic emphasizes that the real issue lies not in the team's overall play but in the alarming save percentages of goaltenders Stuart Skinner and Artur Shilovs, which have plummeted to 844 and 864 respectively. He argues that the current tandem is not meeting the standard required for playoff contention, especially given the high volume of goals conceded on early shots. Kovacevic calls for a bold move: giving 22-year-old Sergei Mourishov a chance in net, comparing his age to Matt Murray's when he won his first Stanley Cup. He also addresses broader team issues, including the lack of production from Sidney Crosby, Brian Rust, and Evgeny Malkins, all of whom appear to be playing below peak health. The episode concludes with a call to clinch playoff positioning quickly to allow key players rest and recovery ahead of the postseason.
