Ten minutes that could have changed, or even saved, the Penguins’ season

The Eastern Conference playoff race has become an increasingly tight race over the past couple of weeks and your Pittsburgh Penguins are one of the teams sitting on the bubble at the bottom of the playoff picture.

Things started to look a little bleak on Sunday afternoon having entered the day on the outside of the playoff picture, the latest they have been in such a position since the 2008-09 season. With a chance to move back into a spot with a win over a rebuilding New York Rangers team, they allowed a two-goal lead to slip away and then found themselves facing a four-minute penalty kill entering the third period.
