Penguins Need To Start Winning

from Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
The Penguins (20-19-4, 44 points) probably need to earn at least 60 percent of their remaining available points to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs.
They’ve earned only 51 percent through 43 games.
“We need to pick it up,” defenseman Ryan Whitney said before losses last week at Nashville and Colorado. “We needed to pick it up a while ago.”
They haven’t, of course, hence their status as one of the NHL’s worst teams for going on about two months.
Some of their putrid statistics from their 8-15-1 stretch dating to Nov. 22:
• 15.5 percent on the power play (16-for-103).
• 76.4 percent on the penalty kill (81-of-106).
