The idea, of course, is to win games.
As many of 82 as possible.
Do that often enough, and the details — like finishing first in the division — should take care of themselves.
With 15 games remaining in the 2017-18 regular season, the Penguins have earned 38 victories and 80 points, which puts them one point behind first-place Washington and one ahead of third-place Philadelphia in the Metropolitan Division.
They play the Flyers at 8:08 p.m. Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, a game that obviously will have an impact on where those teams finish.
