Reporter asks Sullivan what he thinks of the third line: "We have higher expectations"

It is no secret that the Pens' third line has been lacking this season. Even though the team is doing pretty well, the third is just not working as well as the others.

On paper, this line shouldn't have any problem scoring goals and impacting the game: Kapanen is fast and very talented, he has the potential to be very impactful and dangerous around the opposite team's net. McGinn as proved he can score goals and play good, while Carter has 821-career points, which proves he knows the secret to getting points. When we take a glance at what happens on ice, it's just not it: their season record is 5 goals for and 11 against so far.

Here's what Sullivan said when asked about the trio:




Kapanen also had the chance to speak about the situation:


It seems like the key to their success is not unknown, and certainly not very far. It could be a question of momentum; once they're going to get goals, it'll be beneficial for the momentum and we're going to see less of these "lows" Sully has spoken about.
