The good news is that even after losing three games in a row, including two in a row against the New York Rangers (one of which barely even counts as a game between two teams) the Pittsburgh Penguins are still very much in control of their playoff chances. By points percentage they remain ahead of both the New York Islanders and Florida Panthers, but that gap is shrinking at an incredibly fast rate.
If you take care of business in those games against the New York Islanders, or if you beat the Montreal Canadiens, or if you hold on for at least a point in the first of those two Rangers games you can forgive a game like Saturday night against the Rangers.
