After a seven game winning streak the Penguins are once again playing like Stanley Cup Challengers. After five road wins the Pens look to climb up the standings as a mega nine game home stand is approaching. Pittsburgh is currently in sixth position but are only four points behind fourth. Are the Pens as strong as last year’s squad? Probably not, but they still have a team capable of reaching the Stanley Cup Finals, especially with everyone healthily. It’s a safe bet to say they’re the last team anyone wants to see in the playoffs. With 14 games left it’s going to be real interesting to see how things play out. I think it’s not entirely out of the question for one of the top three seeds to throw a game to avoid meeting the Pens in the first round.
