The Pittsburgh Penguins got a surprise win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night and Hunter and Pat start the episode with some praise for Alex Nedeljkovic. They discuss how he turned back the clock to the first half of the season with how great he played while also praising the Penguins defensive effort, especially in the third period. After that, they dive into some of the kids that played well, including Jesse Puljujarvi. They gloss over his performance and how it could potentially mean big things for next season. They also look at Sam Poulin’s debut before ending the show with Warrior Helmet Wednesday. Who gets the helmet for this week? All that, plus much more, is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.

Definitely the "KIDS" were a breath of fresh air on the ice!! Hopefully management took notice….Dubas.
I am really hoping Jesse Puljujarvi is finally getting his legs back. He absolutely should not be on the bench for these final 11 games.
Jesse was outstanding. Beautiful goal. He has a great shot and is a great skater and forcheker.
There are a lot of milestones left for the captain. He is five goals away from 40, he is 7 assists away from 1000 for his career, he is two points away from passing Ray Bourque on the all time points list, and as you just mentioned he's 6 points from guaranteeing himself to having a point per game season.
While playoffs are not happening, a lot of milestones left potentially for the captain. I can tell in these last two games I am making a predication, he is going to go on a tear to end the season and set the tone for next year.
I thought Jesse sucked every game I watched ,last night he was fantastic ?????????????????????
They need to put Puljujarvi on Sid's line, let Sid mold him like he did with Jake. Jesse has a lot of potential and I think Sid can bring it out of him.
For some reason I thought Jesse puljujärvi was on a 1 year and not a 2 year contract..that should work really well for the Penguins
I can honestly see RUSTY staying as a Penguin for a long time & becoming a future Captain … 🤷🏻♂️
Hah I LOVED when DOC beat out Burns & it hit the post & he slowly grabbed it to put in the net – then he just leaned on the net without any celebration 🤣 dude skated his heart out & was gassed
18 was a MENACE last night…
Though I have a feeling that the Pens won't resign him, I think that someone should take Radim Zahorna, and make him watch the play of Bunting and Puljujarvi, and say "this, we want you to do this." Get you big body to the net and have your stick ready.
Pens free agents…who do you think gets resigned, and who's sent walking?
UFAs – Carter, Nedelkovic, Harkins, Hinostroza, Zahorna, Shea, Fedun, Ouellet, and Ludovic
RFAs – Bemstrom, Poulin, Gruden, Puustinen, St. Ivany, Joseph, Andonovski, Cajkovic, Hamaliuk, Rathbone, and Samurokov
I loved the way Puljujarvi played last night. He sniped a goal and was hitting everything that moves. He should not come out of the lineup, ever.
St. Ivany should get the warrior helmet for not only playing pretty solid but also blocking a shot with his face lol.
Jesse Puljujarvi has great potential in front of the net. Jesse Puljujarvi also has his shot and shooting potential. JP was drafted in the 1st round 4th overall and still has that potential. Put him on the 2nd power play in front and on 87's wing for a shot. Please resign head coach Mike Suckagain so we can see Jesse Puljujarvi reach his full potential.
That win was unexpected but nice! Crosby 7 pts in the last 2 games. Hopefully he can get 6 more points in 11 games to keep his streak alive. Puljujarvi has all the potential in the world, he just needs to be more consistent. He was a top 4 pick but the issue with him was his shot and his accuracy with it. Drew is a good bottom six player playing on the top line right now. I love his forechecking and his speed, just dont think he'll ever be a 20 goal and 50 pt player like you want on your top line. Not a knock on him, just reality. Overall the best game the pens have played in awhile.
