PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
2013-14 RECAP
A team with perennial expectations of reaching the Stanley Cup, the Penguins won the Metropolitan Division quite handily, finishing the regular season with 109 points.
After facing some adversity in the first round, the Penguins ousted the upstart Blue Jackets in 6 games. The Penguins were then eliminated by the New York Rangers in the second round in a game 7 showdown, as the Penguins blew a 3-1 series lead.
