Pittsburgh has already clinched home ice in first round of the playoffs and has nothing to play for in this finale. Evgeni Malkin (upper body), defenseman Olli Maatta (lower body) and forward Bryan Rust (lower body) are ruled out for this one and goalie Marc-Andre Fleury (concussion) is day-to-day. The Philadelphia Flyers are home and a point behind Boston and Detroit for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia would secure a playoff berth by winning its last two games. The Bruins and Red Wings each have one game left and one of them is guaranteed a playoff berth that goes to the third-place team in the Atlantic Division. The Flyers are #13 in goals allowed, on a 9-3 run at home and 19-7 playing on one day of rest. And the Penguins are 3-8 in the last 11 meetings. Play Philadelphia.
