Pens need to learn how to exit their own zone. Guys like Malkin just backhand it or throw it out. That got them by(barely) against a young team. They play like that against the Sens who have much better team defense and goaltending and they might not move on any further.
I thought they would tighten up after last year but they really haven't. Some of it was Fluery, but not all of it. Sens are an interesting bet to me if the odds are juicy enough. Same with Kings beating the Hawks.
