Evgeni Malkin says Pittsburgh Penguins need to play harder if it wants to return to the playoffs.

Penguins lost 4-2 at home to Seattle on Tuesday night .

Pittsburgh is just 2-5-3 over its last 10 games to fall back under500 in the Eastern Conference .

Penguins coach Mike Sullivan : "We simply have to do a better job (in our end) and that falls on me".

Their margin for error is smaller and they remain one of the league's oldest teams. Spending the next two weeks crisscrossing North America could give them a chance to steal away and hit the reset button. Or it could drop them into a hole so deep they could be essentially out of it by Groundhog Day . It could go either way. No one knows that more than Malkin . “We need to play so much harder,” Malkin said. And do it quickly. ___ AP NHL : https://apnews.com/hub/nhl.
