Penguins Game Day 76 - vs. Florida Panthers

Florida Panthers 

1:00 p.m., CONSOL Energy Center, Pittsburgh, PA

The Penguins clinched a playoff spot with Carolina's 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay last night. It is the fifth straight playoff apearance for the Penguins.

Pens still have a chance of winning the Atlantic but it will take a pretty amazing string of wins to make it happen.

Unreal read from Rob Rossi on Sidney Crosby. [Trib]
