When you think of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ top rivals your first thoughts probably go directly to the Philadelphia Flyers, Washington Capitals, and perhaps the New York Rangers. Maybe even the Columbus Blue Jackets to a lesser extent.
But there are a couple of other short-lived rivalries that stand out in my mind, and they are the ones that I went to focus on today.
They may not be the most historic rivalries the Penguins have had, but they have absolutely had their share of intense and significant meetings and storylines.
