How can the Penguins get back on track against the Predators?

The Pittsburgh Penguins have another big one on tap on Thursday against the Nashville Predators and Hunter starts the show by previewing that matchup. He discusses how the Predators are severely banged up going into this game and why the Penguins can't afford to leave points off the table against a team that doesn't have any of their top forwards playing. He gives a few keys for the Penguins to bounce back before discussing Mikael Granlund and why he's kinda just...been there through his first 13 games as a Penguin. He analyzes why he isn't a good fit for the Penguins after passing on numerous prime scoring chances on Tuesday night and why he needs to be shooting a lot more. He also looks at why the criticism shouldn't be directed at him but should be at the GM for adding a pass-first player to a team that has very few finishers. Finally, Hunter discusses what the Penguins should do in goal for the game against the Predators, plus why their top priority should be trying to get a very good goaltender at the end of this season, especially if they don't trust Jarry.
