The Pittsburgh Penguins were not happy with themselves Saturday after losing to the New York Islanders at UBS Arena. Defenseman Erik Karlsson said the team wasn’t emotionally or physically engaged. Coach Mike Sullivan said the team talked about playing a simple game, but they weren’t good enough. For most of the game, the Penguins were obviously the better team. A good goal and a fluky bounce put New York within striking distance, but a diving clear by Cody Glass ended any threats in the final seconds as the Penguins beat New York 3-2 at PPG Paints Arena. Sunday was the reverse of Saturday. The Penguins showed some backbone and executed so many of the things they didn’t less than 24 hours earlier. They got back to the better hockey they were playing before the holiday break and are now 10-4-1 in their last 15. There was plenty to build on. Again. Play simply? Check. Play straight ahead and get to the net? Yep. Defend their own net? You betcha. “We just knew it had to be a good bounce-back game. It was a quick turnaround, and you can have all the excuses in the world that you’re tired and whatnot, but we didn’t do that,” Michael Bunting said. “I think we played a complete game. You know, they got (a) six-on-five goal, but I thought we defended hard and showed (well) tonight.” The Penguins lost all of those battles Saturday, especially around their own net. However, with a makeshift blue line on Sunday due to Kris Letang’s injury and the insertion of 26-year-old Nate Clurman making his NHL debut, there weren’t many frills to the Penguins game. And that helped. Tight defense. Net-front scoring, including a power play goal. Good goaltending. It’s a simple formula but difficult to execute. Yet the Penguins did so for their 10th win in 15 games, and get this–at the conclusion of the game, the Penguins vaulted into a playoff spot. No joke. “I mean, it’s important. Just the way we’ve played over the last month or so, I think we’ve given ourselves an opportunity to be back in the mix. We’re competing with a lot of teams, and we know we’ve got our work cut out for us,” Crosby said. “This is hopefully a position that we’re in for the rest of the year–competing, and that’s what it’s all about. So to be back in that spot compared to where we were a month ago, I think it’s important.” Oh, by the way, Crosby broke Mario Lemieux’s franchise record for most assists (again) in the first period when he set up Michael Bunting’s goal. For the most part, the Penguins maintained a better attitude with the lead than the score may have indicated. With a 1-0 lead in the second period, the Penguins ripped 20 shots at New York goalie Magnus Hogberg, who was making his first start since 2021. The team sagged late in the period, giving up a spate of shots on a power play and the subsequent even-strength time. Fortunately for the Penguins, Alex Nedeljkovic held his ground with a couple of sparklers, including a windmill glove save on Anthony Duclair later in the second period. The Penguins didn’t defend their lead in the third. They attacked again. In the first 12:59 of the third period, the Penguins outshot New York 11-3 until Anders Lee broke the shutout. And then Anders Lee scored when an errant shot hit him and caromed into the net at 16:10, but the Penguins clamped down. Penguins Xs and Os The Penguins didn’t cautiously establish neutral zone traffic in the first period; they set the tone with an aggressive forecheck attack. With multiple forecheckers in the zone, the Penguins struggled to generate dangerous puck possession while the New Yorkers buzzed around the net. The shots were 6-6 after 20 minutes, but the Penguins pressure buckled New York in the second period. The Penguins had a commanding 12-7 scoring chance advantage, which would have been much greater if not for New York’s late period flourish. The Penguins also held a 10-5 scoring chance advantage in the third period. Lest anyone thinks the Penguins tried to sit on the lead, that was not the case. In addition to the hard forecheck, the Penguins were not shy at the net. Michael Bunting and Evgeni Malkin were around the net for much of the game. The Penguins also defended well. As a double “Get This:” Erik Karlsson killed penalties and blocked shots. With 26-year-old Nate Clurman making his NHL debut, the Penguins made a conscious effort to keep the defending simple, too. Those ghastly sort-out problems of Saturday vanished. Penguins Grades Team: B+ It wasn’t their high-energy A game, but it was a hard-nosed, workman-like game. Of course, playing two games 22 hours apart took something out of both teams, but the Penguins were the better team. Alex Nedeljkovic: A The Penguins goalie cleaned up a couple of high-danger opportunities. The contest may have gone differently if Nedeljkovic hadn’t made a few key saves on the Islanders’ power plays–they had a few, and they pressed. His final tally was 28 saves on 30 shots, but New York’s second goal wasn’t really a shot as much as a perfect bounce. Michael Bunting-Evgeni Malkin: A Bunting was the best Penguins forward on Sunday. He was ever present and noticeable, a constant threat to score and a thorn in the Islanders’ defense. Malkin is flying. He was the second-best Penguins forward Saturday. Malkin isn’t trying anything fancy but instead playing the simplest game he’s ever played. He had a couple of steals by defending the Islanders’ breakouts, and he stayed between the dots. It’s different than vintage Malkin, but it’s a pretty good version. Erik Karlsson: A In a tough situation, he dug in and defended hard.

Samsung has kicked off its Black Friday sale early this year and it has tons of stuff on sale for gamers, such as the Odyssey OLED G8 (G85SB) gaming monitor. This is an ultra-wide, 34-inch monitor with an OLED panel that Samsung released earlier this year and it offers quite a few benefits to any gamer who wants something exquisite for their gaming purposes but without spending over $1,000 to get it. What’s interesting is that normally you would have to spend over that price for this monitor. Its full retail price is $1,199.99. However, because of Samsung’s Black Friday sale, it’s currently available for only $648.99. That’s a total savings of $551 and that’s a really good price for a really good monitor. There are a few standout features to look for here. It has a high refresh rate for example, and that’s definitely something you want in a gaming monitor if you value smooth gameplay visuals. For this monitor, the refresh rate is 175Hz which is going to be plenty for any game you decide to put up on-screen. Although, the ultra-competitive players out there may want something higher. For gamers who may not yet have their PC or console hooked up, you can still play games with the Odyssey G8 (G85SB). It has Samsung Gaming Hub built-in so all you would need to do is connect the monitor to your Wi-Fi network. Then sign into any one of the available cloud gaming apps including Xbox Game Pass, GeForce NOW, and Utomik. It also has this really cool lighting feature with Samsung’s CoreSync and CoreLighting+. What this does is take in-game colors and project them through the CoreSync lighting ring on the back of the monitor. So if it’s close enough to the wall you get to see those mimicked colors blasting off the wall to create a more immersive experience while gaming. It’s a very cool effect. This is just one of several gaming monitors that Samsung is discounting for Black Friday, too. So if this doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, there’s a good chance Samsung has something that will. Buy at SamsungLiverpool punish rivals’ errors with dominant win over Leicester to stretch leadWake Forest keeps trying new things early in the season, even if not all of the adjustments are by design. The Demon Deacons will try to stick to the script when Detroit Mercy visits for Saturday's game in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Demon Deacons (5-1) will be at home for the final time prior to three consecutive road games. Detroit Mercy (3-2) already has two more victories than all of last season. After a couple of narrow wins and a loss at Xavier, Wake Forest had a smoother time earlier this week in defeating visiting Western Carolina 82-69 on Tuesday night. Yet these are games when teams have to figure where contributions are going to come from in certain situations. The experimenting took a turn for Wake Forest in the Western Carolina game. Center Efton Reid III had limited minutes because of migraines, so there was a shift in responsibilities. Normal backcourt players Cameron Hildreth and Juke Harris logged time at the power forward slot. "That's just part of it," coach Steve Forbes said. "They did a good job adjusting. We ran a lot of stuff and there are several guys learning different positions. ... I give credit to those guys for doing the best job that they could do on the fly and adjusting to the play calls that we ran and the stuff that we changed." Wake Forest could excel if both Parker Friedrichsen and Davin Cosby can be consistent 3-point threats. Friedrichsen slumped with shooting in the first few games of the season and was replaced in the starting lineup by Cosby. In Tuesday's game, Friedrichsen drained four 3-pointers, while Cosby hit two. "It was really good to see Parker and Davin both make shots together," Forbes said. Not everything was solved for the Demon Deacons. Western Carolina collected 12 offensive rebounds, and that took some of the shine off Wake Forest's defensive efforts. "We can't be a good defensive team, or a really good defensive team, unless we rebound the ball," Forbes said. "It's demoralizing to your defense to get stops and then not get the ball." In Detroit Mercy's 70-59 win at Ball State on Wednesday, Orlando Lovejoy tallied 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists. "We got the ball to the shooters and playmakers," first-year Titans coach Mark Montgomery said. "You could tell by the guys' body language that we were going to get a road win. It had been a long time coming." On Saturday, the Titans will look for their second road victory since February 2023. The outcome at Ball State seemed significant to Montgomery. "We had to get over the hump," he said. "Our guys grinded it out." --Field Level Media

The Demon Deacons will try to stick to the script when Detroit Mercy visits for Saturday's game in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Demon Deacons (5-1) will be at home for the final time prior to three consecutive road games. Detroit Mercy (3-2) already has two more victories than all of last season. After a couple of narrow wins and a loss at Xavier, Wake Forest had a smoother time earlier this week in defeating visiting Western Carolina 82-69 on Tuesday night. Yet these are games when teams have to figure where contributions are going to come from in certain situations. The experimenting took a turn for Wake Forest in the Western Carolina game. Center Efton Reid III had limited minutes because of migraines, so there was a shift in responsibilities. Normal backcourt players Cameron Hildreth and Juke Harris logged time at the power forward slot. "That's just part of it," coach Steve Forbes said. "They did a good job adjusting. We ran a lot of stuff and there are several guys learning different positions. ... I give credit to those guys for doing the best job that they could do on the fly and adjusting to the play calls that we ran and the stuff that we changed." Wake Forest could excel if both Parker Friedrichsen and Davin Cosby can be consistent 3-point threats. Friedrichsen slumped with shooting in the first few games of the season and was replaced in the starting lineup by Cosby. In Tuesday's game, Friedrichsen drained four 3-pointers, while Cosby hit two. "It was really good to see Parker and Davin both make shots together," Forbes said. Not everything was solved for the Demon Deacons. Western Carolina collected 12 offensive rebounds, and that took some of the shine off Wake Forest's defensive efforts. "We can't be a good defensive team, or a really good defensive team, unless we rebound the ball," Forbes said. "It's demoralizing to your defense to get stops and then not get the ball." In Detroit Mercy's 70-59 win at Ball State on Wednesday, Orlando Lovejoy tallied 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists. "We got the ball to the shooters and playmakers," first-year Titans coach Mark Montgomery said. "You could tell by the guys' body language that we were going to get a road win. It had been a long time coming." On Saturday, the Titans will look for their second road victory since February 2023. The outcome at Ball State seemed significant to Montgomery. "We had to get over the hump," he said. "Our guys grinded it out." --Field Level Media
