Penguins' Anthony Mantha: Scores in third straight
Rotowire
Mantha scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings. He also had two PIM, a hit and three blocked shots.
Mantha has found the back of the net in three straight contests, a run in which he's recorded four goals, an assist, four PIM, nine shots, two hits and four blocked shots. The lack of consistency has been an issue for Mantha, as he went five games in a row without a goal before this ongoing streak, but he should continue to have plenty of opportunities down the stretch. He has 14 points (nine goals, five assists) in 17 games since the beginning of March.

Penguins' Anthony Mantha: Three-game, six-point streak
Rotowire
Mantha had a goal and two assists in a 6-2 win over Chicago on Thursday.
Mantha is on a bit of a roll. He has put up points (three goals, three assists) and fired six shots on net during his current three-game scoring streak, and he has eight points, including five assists, in his last five games. Mantha continues to flirt with a 60-point season, which would obliterate his previous career high in points (48 in both 2017-18 and 2018-19). That's incredible production for a third-line winger skating beside a rookie center (Ben Kindel).
