The end of competitive hockey in the Sidney Crosby era? The Pittsburgh Penguins are in a free fall and less than 20 games in Thursday Night looked like an exclamation point at where things are headed………

• Justin Brazeau | Goal (1)
• Nick Robertson | Goal (7)
• Arturs Silovs | 18 Saves, .750 SV%

The Vegas Golden Knights (8-2-0, 16 pts) just absolutely steam rolled the Pittsburgh Penguins (3-5-1, 7 pts) Saturday Night in a 6-2 win. Pittsburgh falling to 0-3 on the road trip and 1-5-1 since a 2-0 start, are teetering on the edge of giving their General Manager the mandate to do what he’s always wanted to do. –Blow this thing up– For Pittsburgh Sidney Crosby (4) and Ville Koivunen (2) each scored in the loss, while Sergei Murashov struggled again in allowing 5 goals on 19 shots (.737SV%). Murashov is 0-3-1 with an .883 SV% in four starts.

Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust gave the Pittsburgh Penguins (3-4-1, 7 pts) a 2-0 lead in scoring 29 seconds apart midway through the first period. It would be about all the Penguins had going for them the rest of the way as the Colorado Avalanche (5-2-1, 11 pts) erupted with five unanswered goals, en route to a 5-2 win on Friday Night
