The Penguins head into the holiday break on a winning note after dominating the rival Philadelphia Flyers with a 7-3 smackdown at PPG Paints Arena!

Then, they discuss the historic milestone achieved by Sidney Crosby and how, even at age 37, he continues to play at an elite level and climb up the record books. FInally, it may be Tuesday but with Christmas on Wednesday, they celebrate Warrior Helmet Wednesday a day early and hand out their MVP of the week!

The Pittsburgh Penguins picked up a big win on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings and Hunter and Patrick are here to break it all down. They first start with the slow starts and why the Penguins have to do a better job of starting games. They dive into how many times they've given up goals in the first few minutes of games and why that's a trend they need to stop. After that, they look at how the Penguins outplayed the Kings for the majority of this game and how the process behind this win is what continues to be super impressive. They then analyze the play of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin and how dominant they were before ending the show with Warrior Helmet Wednesday.

The Penguins are back in action tonight at PPG Paints Arena when they welcome one of the NHL's hottest teams, the Los Angeles Kings - Patrick and Hunter discuss what has led to the Kings' success and how the Penguins can slow them down. First, they dive into what has helped the Kings win six of their last eight and how while they don't have any truly dominant players, they get it done with a team effort as well as contributors from Anze Kopitar. Next, they talk about how with Alex Nedeljokvic set to start tonight, he has to be the catalyst for a Penguins victory as he must rebound from what has been a poor start to the season. Finally, with Kyle Dubas's plan of wanting to get young players who need a change of scenery to Pittsburgh, could there be a 23-year-old forward looking to get out of New York for a fresh start?
