The Pittsburgh Penguins are winding down their 2024-25 season and on pace to miss the Stanley Cup playoffs for the third consecutive season, a first in Sidney Crosby’s 20-year career. However, there is plenty to play for in the final weeks of the regular season.
For example, one more Western Conference road trip is left on the schedule, with a home-and-home against Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks. Meanwhile, the season finale is against long-time rival Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals.
Even though that game is on April 17, Ovechkin could still be pursuing Wayne Gretzky’s goal record, which could set up one of the most historic contests in league history.
