In this week’s edition of Trending Penguins Players, the Pittsburgh Penguins are in a back-and-forth race for the top spot in the East Division with the Washington Capitals.
They enter the weekend tied for that top spot with 69 points, while also having officially punched their ticket for the playoffs thanks to Thursday’s 5-4 overtime win against the Capitals.
They have won five out of their past six games and are 28-10-2 in their past 40 games. That is a pretty impressive run, especially when you consider the injury situation during most of the season.
