Jeff Petry brings what the Penguins need: ‘He makes us harder to play against’

New York Times  

PITTSBURGH — Jeff Petry is still learning. “I’m not a guy who’s fighting out there, though I will drop the gloves,” Petry said Thursday night. “It’s important that our goalies are seeing the puck and we’re making their job easier.” Like the Penguins, Petry wasn’t perfect against the Coyotes. As for the Penguins’ remade penalty kill, coach Mike Sullivan said simply, “We need some work.” Fair enough. “It was important for us to push back there in the third period and regain that momentum we gave back in the second period.” Spoken like a pro’s pro, which is how associate coach Todd Reirden deployed Petry against the Coyotes.
