For the Pittsburgh Penguins, who currently sit in the first Wild Card spot for the Eastern Conference with 82 points, the playoffs are a real possibility.
It’s been an up and down year for the Penguins, but Sidney Crosby’s rebound from his atrocious start to now rank in the top five in scoring makes this team simply too good to miss the playoffs.
