Steve Downie “Playing the right way”

By William DePaoli

Steve Downie’s fight and power play goal sparked the Penguins 3-2 win over the Arizona Coyotes Saturday afternoon, many teammates noted after the game. Downie had found himself in Mike Johnston’s dog house over the last month but is now playing the right way, the Penguins head coach said after the win. “I know ‘Downs’ gets scrutiny for how he plays and what he does,” Johnston said. “We’ve talked about it all year. If he plays the right way, he’s a very effective player.”
