All of a sudden the Pittsburgh Penguins find themselves in a tie for first place in the East Division alongside the Washington Capitals and New York Islanders. That is how the standings look after the Penguins wildly impressive win over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night where they won their fifth game in a row and improved to 19-6-1 over the past 26 games.
It remains even more impressive when you consider how many players are still out of the lineup and how so many other players have managed to contribute across the board.
