The Pittsburgh Penguins have had a big few days in the race for an Eastern Conference Wild Card spot by running off three consecutive wins, all of them in fairly impressive fashion. Some of the scores might have been close, but in terms of controlling the pace of play and all of the shot and chance numbers, the Penguins have been doing what you want to see them do.
Those three wins are also coming at a great time after an ugly four-game losing streak that saw them let two dominant performances against the New York Islanders slip away, and then getting dominated by the New Jersey Devils and Edmonton Oilers.
