It's Crosby Time
The Penguins have struggled and urgently need Sidney Crosby to step up. He scored his 1,600th career point and the winning goal in the Sabres overtime win on October 15 but has otherwise been off to a slow start.

At 37, he is still one of the best players in the NHL and on the Penguins team, but it is time for him to show it during the West Coast/Canadian swing as the Penguins struggle to stay close to .500.
Ned's Back
It has been a rotating goalie situation for the Penguins with Joel Blomqvist and Tristan Jarry carrying the load while Alex Nedeljkovic recovered from his preseason injury. Ned came back on Sunday, October 20.
Though he played well, the Penguins need to do a better job of playing defense to alleviate the pressure on the goalie.
Conclusion
Calgary will be a tough opponent for the Penguins if they do not raise their level. Fans have not seen the Penguins at the top of their game in seven games. It is time to find the "A" game in Calgary on Wednesday night.
