The National Hockey League announced more details about the Pittsburgh Penguins and the 2020 playoffs yesterday, here’s what we know.
The NHL’s official media site released that the first round of the playoffs (the qualifying round) will be a best of 5 series. That means that the Pittsburgh Penguins will have 5 opportunities to take out the Montreal Canadiens once the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin.
Best of 5 series’ can get a little bit tricky because if you have just one slip up, that could be the end of the series and your playoff hopes.
