Pens Points: Zapped

The shock of the lightning.
Here are your Pens Points for this Wednesday morning...
The Penguins welcomed Jake Guentzel and the Tampa Bay Lightning to town on Tuesday night. With Tristan Jarry in the net, the Penguins got out to an impressive two-goal lead, but the Lightning chipped away to tie the game in the third period, eventually giving way to an OT winner for TB. [Recap]
Let's stop kidding ourselves: For all intents and purposes, the Penguins are in the infancy of what is likely a multi-year rebuild. Calling it anything other than that is an insult to fans' intelligence. Pull the band-aid off. [PensBurgh]
While the Pittsburgh Penguins are floundering as they enter a rebuild in everything but name only, Jake Guentzel is loving life down in Tampa. [Trib Live]
