Pens Points: Another Day of Rest

Here’s Pens Points to help guide you through another off day for the Penguins.

Thursday will be another off day for the Pittsburgh Penguins before they welcome the Winnipeg Jets and Utah Hockey Club to town for a back-to-back set beginning on Friday night. The Penguins, who are 3-3-3 in the month of November, are still looking for a spark to jumpstart some good momentum as Thanksgiving approaches and the month winds down.
