Head Coach Mike Sullivan has made several line changes in order to increase offensive production, but nothing has worked.

General Manager Jim Rutherford said, “I think we're in a funk now. We're struggling, but for the most part, I still believe in this team.”
The Penguins’ next game is Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
