Even though the NHL trade deadline has come and gone, questions abound for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
• Can they wiggle into the playoffs?
• How many points can they get during this critical nine-game stretch against fellow Eastern Conference playoff contenders?

• Are there any dark horse teams that will make a late push to complicate the playoff picture?
• Will the next two rematches against Columbus be harder than the 5-2 win on Tuesday?
• Is Patric Hornqvist finally about to get on track as he rejoins Sidney Crosby’s line?
