PITTSBURGH - Through the Pittsburgh Penguins current stretch of seven lo ses, the defensive core has had some real struggles.Brian Dumoulin continues to be on the ice for goals against, Kris Letang has yet to score a goal, and Jeff Petry is leading the Penguins in penalty minutes.With the top three defenders having Bruce Armstrong Jersey a rough start, the bottom half has had to step their game up.Marcus Petter son has taken what looks like the biggest step forward and shined the brightest among Penguins defenders.With Dumoulins struggles beginning to boil over, Petter son took on the top pairing with Letang.Head coach Mike Sullivan had been doing some line shifting mid-game with the defensemen, but a little extra work was put in between the two.Marcus has been one of our more consistent defensemen Davon Godchaux Jersey this year, Sullivan said. Hes had a steady Jakob Johnson Jersey start to the season. When Marcus is at his best hes a reliable trustworthy defenseman.Through 12 games, Petter son has been a beacon of stout defense and helping create opportunities offensively.Petter son has been on the ice for 11 total goals against, but still holds a +4 rating with four a sists. I think Ive been playing well to start the year, Petter son said. Just got to find something in our D core here. Find a spark. Maybe we can contribute offensively.Its not the first time Petter son and Letang have shared an ice surface, but it might be the start of a more commonly seen duo.Letangs offensive ability needs no introduction and Petter son Jonnu Smith Jersey has grown into a steady defensive backstop.Its a privilege to play with, Petter son said. Its going to be a lot of fun. Matthew Slater Jersey If the duo sticks into a game situation, itll be a good move for the Penguins; Dumoulin needs to have his minutes sheltered and Petter son has earned this kind of promotion.Make sure you for the latest news, exclusive interviews, breakdowns and so much more!Follow Inside the Penguins on Twitter:
