Pittsburgh's forwards keep defying the doubters with their hot shooting and timely production, turning heads across the league as they climb the standings. Veterans like Rust and newcomers such as Mantha grind out goals while Crosby and Malkin orchestrate from the top lines, but whispers in the front office question how long this luck holds. Coaches experiment with fresh combos to build depth, knowing a regression could expose the Penguins' defensive frailties before the trade deadline hits.
