Penguins looking ahead to playoffs, getting healthy

PITTSBURGH — Four games remain in the regular season for the Pittsburgh Penguins starting with Tuesday night's matchup with Metropolitan Division rival Columbus.

The Penguins currently hold a one-point lead over the Blue Jackets, and this game could potentially determine home ice in the first-round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Pittsburgh has a 10-4 all-time home record against Columbus.

PPG Paints Arena has been very kind to the Penguins this season. The team has 30 wins at home, the second-most in a single-season in franchise history.

The club also expects to celebrate its 471st consecutive sellout (regular season and playoffs) making the 10th-straight year the Pens have sold out every regular-season home game.

Injuries continue to plague Mike Sullivan’s team, however, they are still within reach of the President’s Trophy.

Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang are the big names dealing with various injuries and aren’t expected to play against Columbus. Sullivan has said he expects both to return for the playoffs.
