The Penguins find themselves in the thick of the playoff race!

The Pittsburgh Penguins were in a playoff spot for a day before falling out of one on Sunday afternoon. Still, they're in a playoff race and that's where they start the episode with recapping their crazy win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. They discuss how the core still showed that they have some left in the tank and analyze how they carried them to this win before looking at the continued excellence of Alex Nedeljkovic. They discuss how he continues to give them a spark and why he's the No. 1 right now before praising Michael Bunting for scoring the biggest goal of the Penguins season yet. They look at how he's been a seamless fit for the Penguins since the Jake Guentzel trade, then analyze Erik Karlsson's performance. After that, they look at where the playoff race is and what the Penguins need to do in order to get a spot. Finally, they preview Monday's matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs and whether Nedeljkovic could get a night off.
