PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
Last season: 100 points, 2nd in division, lost to Washington in second round
Notable: Forget Cups, gold medals and MVPs; Sidney Crosby over the summer was named the greatest athlete in Nova Scotia history. Some, especially around here, argue he's also the greatest diver ever to come out of the Canadian province. The Penguins dealt Conor Sheary to Buffalo in a salary move but have plenty to make a Cup run, especially if goalie Matt Murray can stay healthy.
WASHINGTON CAPITALS
Key number: 111.
