The Penguins will play their final game before the Christmas break and have a chance to take advantage of a struggling Maple Leafs team. Patrick and Hunter begin the show by taking a look at the Toronto Maple Leafs and trying to answer the million-dollar question about them: What is wrong with them this season? The usual suspects are producing for the Leafs, including William Nylander, John Tavares, and Auston Matthews, but a lack of depth and poor special teams play have been their undoing. (0:00) Then, it's time to put the focus on the Penguins for this matinee game against the Leafs. First and foremost, it's time for Stuart Skinner to have his first moment as a Penguins' goalie. While he doesn't need to steal the game against the Leafs, a solid start would go a long way. The special teams also need to be special against this Leafs power play. (13:30) Finally, with Patrick flying solo, he takes a look at all the milestones ahead for Sidney Crosby after he passed Mario Lemieux as the Penguins' franchise leader in points. (26:09)
