Penguins captain Sidney Crosby commented on the Penguins' playoff chances in a postgame interview.
"'Knowing how close it's been for a while now, we all understood that there was a good chance it was going to come down to the last game, and that's the way it is...We've done a good job the last couple of games of focusing on the game in hand, and we got to do that tomorrow.'"
Playoff Clinching Scenario
The Penguins' playoff fate no longer remains completely up to them.
