Pittsburgh now in position to grab top spot in the Metropolitan Division which I think should be pretty desirable. I know I'd prefer the top seed in that Conference. All series will be tough, but I think there is a difference between the last wild card team and the Rangers or dealing with Columbus or Washington in round one. So I expect the Penguins to be on their game.

Hopefully the Flames play a cleaner game than they did in Winnipeg and the Moose can continue his top notch play of late. Flames have played the Pens well the last three times the two teams met head to head. On of the best games they played last year was the game against the Pens at the dome. Backlund tends to play really well against Pittsburgh.
