Penguins Rout Avs in 7-2 Blowout

The Pittsburgh Penguins come out firing on all cylinders, handing the Colorado Avalanche a stunning 7-2 beatdown that no one saw coming from the league's top team. Pittsburgh's offense clicks like it's 2017 all over again, exploiting every Avalanche mistake in a game that exposes some cracks in Colorado's armor just as the playoffs loom. With about 12 games left, this loss raises eyebrows in Denver's front office while giving the Penguins a much-needed spark in the wild Metro scrum.
