That kind of breakdown has plagued them all season, and it's killing them now. The veteran stars didn't show up when it mattered most. Chris Lattang took 14 penalty minutes and got beat on that shorthanded tally. If Genny Malkin spent too much time in the box, and even Eric Carlson, struggled with the pace. Sydney Crosby grinded with 4 shots, but the finish wasn't there, leaving fans questioning if he's banged up. Credit to Stuart Skinner and Net though, he made 20 big saves, stopping breakaways, and even a penalty shot to keep them alive.
