Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin skates to the bench as Carolina Hurricanes’ Jake Gardiner (51) is greeted by teammates after giving his team the lead during the second period Sunday, March 8, 2020.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are in a world of hurt.

After losing eight of their last 10 games — including two over the weekend to division rivals the Washington Capitals and Carolina Hurricanes — they likely are feeling the heat of some teams gaining on them in the Eastern Conference standings.

TribLIVE columnists Tim Benz and Mark Madden discuss the issues facing the Penguins and whether there are any possible line changes or other fixes that could help them.

They also talk about the conundrum of the Matt Murray-Tristan Jarry goalie tandem and how neither goalie appears to be in a good place.

The guys also dip into some Steelers and Pirates talk and take viewer questions.
