Playoff Streak in jeopardy? Pittsburgh’s 2-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators Monday night on home ice has seen the Penguins fall out of playoff spot with a vaunted back-t0-back stretch of road games coming up Wednesday and Thursday night against the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars. The Penguins in the midst of now a four-game losing streak, have seen the Florida Panthers, 6-0-1 in their last seven games, go from being five points behind the Penguins to now one point ahead of the Penguins in a matter of five days.

WILD CARD WATCH: IN: 1. Islanders 80 pts, 71 GP; 2. Panthers 79 pts, 70 GP; OUT: 3. Penguins 78 pts, 70 GP;
