I think the Pens will be fine. The metro is wide open, with really only the Caps safe. The Devils, Islanders and Rangers are all struggling and the Blue Jackets have been inconsistent lately. The Pens are playing their best hockey of the year and Crosby is on fire. With the way the trio of Sid, Geno and Phil are playing right now, and with a healthy Letang I can’t see them not getting in. It appears the Rangers might be ready to blow things up as well which could potentially make the path to the playoffs that much easier.
