Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning...

The Pens and Sens meet again later tonight for Game 2 of the ECF. The Penguins will be looking to avoid going down 2-0 in the series. For a refresher on how we got to this point, here is the recap for Game 1. [Recap] Puck drop is scheduled for 8:00!

Perhaps two of the most glaring trouble spots for the Pens comes from not executing enough on the power play, as well as not simplifying their game. Conveniently, HCMS is looking to iron out these issues. [Penguins]

If you want to simplify the Penguins' woes even further, you may think the lack of shots on goal is a nagging issue. Well, that's another aspect of their game that the Pens are looking to improve upon. [Trib Live]
