The Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> are down 0-2 in the series with the Philadelphia Flyers<\/a>. Players, such as Erik Karlsson, are preaching patience and consistency<\/a> as they attempt to make the comeback.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Now, the Penguins captain, Sidney Crosby<\/a>, is also speaking out about the 0-2 series deficit<\/a>, per Greg Wyshynski of ESPN.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, the urgency is heightened,\u201d said Crosby. \u201cI think it\u2019s always heightened when you\u2019re down in a series. You\u2019re trying to give momentum back. I\u2019ve been up 3-1 in a series. I know how quickly that can turn.\u201d<\/p>\n The Penguins have struggled in the series overall. They have scored just two goals over two games, after being shut out in Game 2. Crosby does not have a point, while having seven shots and a minus-two plus\/minus rating.<\/p>\n \u201cThe power play is not always going to score, but you want to try to at least get momentum from it. And we haven\u2019t done a good enough job doing that,\u201d Crosby said. \u201cTeams\u2019 kills are going to be good, especially this time of year. So I think the biggest thing for us is give ourselves a chance to contribute. And if not, then at least get some momentum. So executing that would, I think, go a long way, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Pittsburgh has yet to score on the powerplay, and has also given up a shorthanded goal. Meanwhile, the defense has struggled, giving up three goals in each game.<\/p>\n If the Penguins are going to make the comeback, it starts on Wednesday night. The series moves to Philadelphia for Game 3, with puck drop at 7 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n Related: Sidney Crosby calls out Penguins\u2019 weakness in Game 2 loss to Flyers<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Related: Penguins\u2019 veteran Erik Karlsson identifies who to blame for 2-0 Flyers series deficit<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Penguins stars Sidney Crosby plays Captain Obvious on Pittsburgh\u2019s stunning 0-2 hole appeared first on ClutchPoints.
