The Penguins start a five-game homestand tonight against Metro Division rival Columbus. With 41 points on the season, the Pens are fourth in the Metro Division, a point ahead of the Blue Jackets, with the Flyers two back and the two New York teams, the Rangers and Islanders, in last place with 37 points. The Penguins are tied with Montreal for the final Atlantic Conference playoff spot, but the Canadiens hold the tiebreaker edge.
The Penguins are 11-1-2 against the Blue Jackets since 2019 and 21-4-3 going back to 2017, but they lost their only game against them this season. The Pens have a 15-game winning streak at home against Columbus, dating back to 2015.
The game faces off shortly after 7 tonight. The pregame begins at 6 on 92.5 FM U92.
