Penguins drop weekend back-to-back as trade deadline looms

The Penguins only got one of a possible four points in a weekend back-to-back against the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Patrick and Hunter begin the show talking about the team's decision to reassign goaltender Joel Blomqvist to the AHL while recalling Tristan Jarry to the big club. They discuss how, while it may be a bit of a puzzling move on the surface, it's the best for the medium-to-long-term development of Blomqvist. Then, they break down the Penguins' losses to the Bruins and Maple Leafs. Despite the two losses, the Penguins showed a lot of fight and that is also encouraging for the long-term. Finally, with the trade deadline set for Friday, they discuss their expectations for Kyle Dubas this week.
