With their 5-2 win over the Flyers on Wednesday, the Penguins moved into first place in the division. This was the first time in 2018 that a team other than the Capitals are on top of the division. For the Penguins, it is business as usual, peaking again at just the right time and heading into the playoffs red hot. They have done this despite losing Matt Murray again, this time to a concussion. The injury happened during practice on 2/27, but he is still listed as day to day.
Deadline acquisition Derick Brassard has registered his first points as a Penguin with a goal and an assist in his first four games with the team.
