The good news for the Pittsburgh Penguins at the moment is they have been on a roll over the past month and built a nice little cushion in the East Division playoff race. They are also now entering the second half of their schedule that is mostly games against the New Jersey Devils and Buffalo Sabres. It is a solid position to be in right now. The concern is that the injury situation is mounting.
They entered Tuesday’s game against the Boston Bruins already playing without Jason Zucker, Jared McCann, and John Marino.
