The Penguins took care of more than just the Detroit Red Wings Wednesday night, they also may have avoided a potentially worrisome first round playoff matchup with the club. By defeating the storied franchise 4-3 in a shootout, Pittsburgh helped their chances of securing a opening post-season series against the Columbus Blue Jackets this Spring.
