from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
It almost defies logic, but somehow the Pittsburgh Penguins are first in the Atlantic Division, two points ahead of New Jersey, despite losing all five games to the Devils this season.
The teams’ season series finale is tonight in Newark, and this is a game that has all kinds of meaning for both teams.
The Devils, with a game in hand, can tie the Pens for the division lead and head into the playoffs with the confidence of a 6-0-0 sweep of the reigning Cup champs. (Put that card in the deck and pull it out later in the spring, if you know what I mean.)
The Pens need a win to put a little space between first and second place in the Atlantic, and, perhaps more importantly, know they can finally beat Martin Brodeur and his team this season.

The star players from Pittsburgh have been dysmal in their perfomances against the Devils this season. That has to improve in order to avoid a season sweep. Even with a loss, I like our chances of winning the Atlantic, but a win would remove some of the psycholigical deficit for the playoffs.
