After the Penguins blew a 3-0 lead in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Utah Mammoth, defenseman Erik Karlsson spoke candidly about what is going wrong in Pittsburgh.

He pointed to overthinking and worrying about "what-ifs" rather than just playing, but called it a controllable mindset issue rather than a systems problem.
