Pens’ Path Ahead: Every game is important at this time of year, but it’s not a stretch to say Pittsburgh’s next game on Thursday night at home against Detroit could be season-defining for both clubs. The Pens will stay at home to host Boston next Saturday night, and then Nashville comes to the ‘Burgh a week from tonight.
