The Pittsburgh Penguins submitted one of the worst games in their history Saturday, and that includes the first 20 years of their existence, which provided almost no success or reasonable hope. The Penguins lit fire to their 5-1 lead late in the third period and lost in OT. We\u2019ve got full coverage, analysis, and reaction. Elsewhere in the Daily, it seems Tristan Jarry knew his time was coming to a close in Pittsburgh and really wanted Edmonton as a destination. There could be sweeping changes coming to the Buffalo Sabres organization. And speculation is rampant in Vancouver that Quinn Hughes told management that he would be leaving to sign in New Jersey in two years. <\/p>\n
