Why the Pittsburgh Penguins are all in on getting Crosby, Malkin & Letang back to the playoffs

Will the winner of the NHL’s Metro Division be a team that didn’t make the playoffs last season? The New Jersey Devils stand a chance of making that happen. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Penguins want to get back into the show with their legendary core trio, the Flyers are looking to build upon a surprising 2023-24, and the Blue Jackets enter the season grappling with tragedy. In this Locked On NHL Season Preview Round Table, Rachel Donner (Locked On Flyers), Trey Matthew (Locked On Devils), Patrick Damp (Locked On Penguins) and Jay Forster (Locked On Blue Jackets) preview the NHL season prospect of the Metro Division’s hopefuls. Can Matvei Michkov push the Flyers rebuild forward? Can the youth of the Blue Jackets take steps towards competitiveness? Will Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang get back to the post-season? And can the Devils make good on the pre-season height and leap from out of the playoffs to the top of the division? All that plus biggest offseason additions, breakout players, reasons for optimism and more!
