The Pens end the year on a six game winning streak, with Crosby and Kessel piling up more points.
DeSmith and Murray are on fire right now. Maybe all Murray needed was some healthy competition to get back into form, and DeSmith is giving it to him.

Always like the outdoor games, even though the novelty has worn off. Props to the anthem singer yesterday...his singing with the loud crowd cheering gave me goosebumps. 
And even though I had no horse in the race, it was a decent evenly-played game for most of it.

Secondary scoring and primary scoring along with some solid defense and a solid Murray in net makes the Pens 1-0 in 2019 as they pick up right where they left off to end 2018, en fuego.
Seven goals tonight from seven different Pens players. Impressive.
Just like that, the Pens are one point behind first place Washington. Columbus is right there too, one point behind the Pens.
In December, then Pens went from out of the playoffs to home ice in the first round.
It'll take a crazy hot streak to catch up to Tampa though.

Typical December for our guys...in like a lamb and out like a lion.
Let's save that crazy hot streak for April/May, when it really counts!
The Pens still need more from those 3rd & 4th liners, but at least some of them are chipping a few in lately. And hopefully Murray has emerged from that year-long funk.

Lightning fan here, so not looking forward to the Pens getting that hot streak. Wouldn't surprise me though.
Annnnddd, once again the Cats are consistently inconsistent. AAARRRRGGHH!
I always thought it strange that the Lightning get way more interest and support in FLA than the Rays. And both teams have had success.
The Rays facility(The Trop)is in St. Petersburg. A bit of a PITA to access[across Tampa Bay]. Amalie Arena is right downtown Tampa with fairly easy access from any direction(I-4, I-75, I-275). And lots of stuff to do near the Arena.
Yeah. The Trop is not the best BB venue. Hope they do something. And let's be honest, the AL East is the best.
They were s'posed to be building a new stadium in Ybor City-just to the northeast of downtown Tampa. Deal fell through.Yeah. The Trop is not the best BB venue. Hope they do something. And let's be honest, the AL East is the best.
The location is the main reason, the secondary reason is that it is totally enclosed. A retractable roof in FLA would be great. St. Pete built the Trop before they had a commitment from MLB so I understand why they didn't spring for the cost of a retractable roof.
I particularly like when a ball goes up, but does not come down.
Two secondary (Maatta and Cullen) goals in 33 seconds and the Pens are up 2-0 after 20 minutes of the best opening period I have seen them play in a long time, and at home too.
Maybe the bubble bursts and the Pens go back to playing terrible, but the thing is they aren't playing crazy awesome or above their heads right now. Just regular Pens hockey.

Yessir. Originally from Altoona.
Two more secondary goals (Simon and Letang) combined with a 33 save shutout from Matt Murray and the Pens have their longest winning streak since 2016, eight games.
This game was big, against one of the better western teams.
Oh, and look who's in first in the Metropolitan (at the moment anyway until we see what happens with the Caps in Dallas tonight. Go Stars!!). I know some of you jokers were enjoying seeing the Pens floundering around near the bottom of the division, not anymore.
I'm still digging the Pettersson trade. I love how he plays.
