The NHL playoff race is reaching it’s peak this year, no where more than in the competitive and tight Eastern Conference.

If there was a glaring weakness for the 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins it was always going to be on defense and their ability to keep pucks out of their own net.

The Pittsburgh Penguins March schedule was always going to be daunting, and they are almost through it.
