The fourth seed in the East is clinched. Malkin picked up his 49th. Orpik was ejected for a knee-on-knee hit.

The Flyers clinched 5th with their win so now we head into possibly eight-straight games against the Flyers. Get ready to redefine what "hate" means to you.

It will be interesting to see who's in the line-up for the Pens and Flyers on Saturday.

Buckle up. The playoffs are just around the corner.

Best time of the year.
