Team Analysis
Pittsburgh Penguins
47-27-8 | 102 Points | 2nd in East
Key Numbers
- GF: 247
- GA: 216
- PP: 20.4%
- PK: 81.0%
With Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, the Pens have two of the best players in the game. Add the likes of Ryan Malone and Marian Hossa to the mix and they have something none of the others in the East have in two lines that can consistently produce. They also have a good group of role players, disturbers and toughness. Experience isn't a problem, either. Their power play is also one of the best in the league, and the goaltending - once a concern - is no longer.
Ottawa Senators
43-31-8 | 94 Points | 7th in East
Key Numbers
- GF: 261
- GA: 247
- PP: 18.3%
- PK: 81.0%
When they are on and healthy, the line of Jason Spezza, Daniel Alfredsson and Dany Heatley is one of the very best in the league and incredibly explosive. But if Alfredsson is out for an extended period, that is crippling. Same applies to Mike Fisher, who can also be a terrific player, good at killing penalties and taking faceoffs. If he's gone... Cory Stillman is a proven winner and a good playoff performer. The Senators also have the experience and motivation gained from making it to the Stanley Cup final a year ago, and the desperate conclusion to the season, to help guide them.
