PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on PGHHockeyNOW.com.
The Pittsburgh Penguins showed what they are capable of during their 5-3 victory against Edmonton on Thursday.
They did it again against Ottawa less than 48 hours later.

The Senators embarrassed them, 5-0, at PPG Paints Arena Saturday, denying the Penguins an opportunity to at least temporarily claim one of the wild-card playoff berths in the Eastern Conference.
The Penguins (18-18-8) are 0-3-3 in their past six games against the Senators, who had been in a 1-5-1 rut before making the trip here.
Although a strong start had been one of the keys in the Penguins’ victory against Edmonton, which was 7-1-1 in its nine games before taking on the Penguins, they didn’t come close to replicating that against Ottawa.
