Pittsburgh has two things to be concerned about. One, making the playoffs. Ottawa has been playing well as of late. Sure, they're two points back, but games have to be played. Anything can happen. Two, if the Penguins enter Buffalo w/ a playoff spot locked up, they will be playing for playoff position. Pittsburgh and Boston are tied at 95. The team that finishes eighth will have to play the Rangers in the first round. Second seed is Montreal. I'm sure the Penguins will do what it takes to play the Canadians. Pittsburgh will go for the win against Buffalo.
