With their 5-3 win over the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Thursday night the Pittsburgh Penguins improved to 6-2-0 on the young season, making them easily one of the biggest surprises in the NHL through the first two-plus weeks of the season.

We are about to learn what these Penguins are really about
There are two main takeaways I have from the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-2-0 start going into Thursday’s game against the Florida Panthers.

Kyle Dubas might have cooked this offseason
When Kyle Dubas talks about his timeline for the Pittsburgh Penguins, he almost always uses the word “urgent” to emphasize short-term focus on improvement, even as the main focus managerially has been to trade away quality players when their contracts are running out and stockpile future draft picks.
