The Penguins look to make it a perfect 5-game homestand in the homestretch against the Bruins on Tuesday night at PPG.

The Penguins took a trio of games against the Devils across 5 days, before predicating the back-end of a back-to-back with a stifling 1-0 dispatch of the B’s which was also the front-end of a 2-game series.

With the exception of the quagmire third period of the wild 7-6 win against the Devils last Tuesday, the Penguins have outscored their opponents 16-3 across those 3.66 (repeating of course) games.

The Penguins’ system the past few weeks:

The Penguins’ magic number to ensure a playoff berth is currently 4.
