(38-32-8, fifth in the Atlantic Division)

Detroit Red Wings key players and injuries
The Red Wings head into this game missing key players in Michael Rasmussen, Ville Husso and Andrew Copp due to injuries.
Their attacking contributions from their forward trio of Lucas Raymond, Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat, who have all contributed 60+ points this season, will be hoping to be effective in the business end of the competition.

Pittsburgh Penguins key players and injuries
The Penguins head into this all-important game without Ryan Greaves, Noel Acciari, Jansen Harkins and winger Matt Nieto.
Veteran Sidney Crosby has been at the center of all things Penguins this season. He has contributed 40 goals and 46 assists this season. Evgeni Malkin, too, has been on the scoreboard quite often, as he contributed 60+ points this season.
In a game that practically requires both teams to come out with all available points, the sides will be hoping to take the attack to their opponents and not sit back, and hopefully, it'll be a treat to watch for the neutrals.
