CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Brian Dumoulin tried not to think about how the Penguins' regular-season finale in Columbus on Thursday could have been his last game in a Penguins uniform.
"If I'm thinking about that, then I'm not thinking about the game," Dumoulin said of his mindset. "So I mean for me, I just try to focus on what's in front of me and what tomorrow looks like. I'm a very day-to-day person."
Now that the Penguins' season is over, after the team failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2005-06, the thought that Dumoulin may have played his last game as a Penguin has to be creeping into his mind a little bit.
