The Pittsburgh Penguins got through a brutal two week stretch of their season and still not not only find themselves in a Stanley Cup Playoff spot, but actually enter the week with the slimmest of leads over the New York Islanders in terms of points percentage for the first Wild Card spot, and a three-point lead over the Florida Panthers for a playoff spot.
It was not always the prettiest stretch of hockey, and there were some bad results (Montreal and Ottawa) mixed in to the expected losses (at New York, at Dallas), but they did win some big games and managed to at least maintain a good spot in the standings.
