The Pittsburgh Penguins will try to stay in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and even up their series with the Montreal Canadiens.

So far, the Stanley Cup Playoffs series between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadiens has not been short of drama. Game 1 saw the Penguins come back from a 2-0 deficit, only for the Canadiens to win in overtime. In Game 2, the Pens finally looked strong. Game 3 saw the Habs make a comeback of their own to take a 2-1 lead and put the Pens on the brink of elimination. On Friday, they can eliminate them at 4:00 p.m. EST.

Sidney Crosby of the Penguins has never played on his birthday. Today, he will. He could also be eliminated on his birthday. Regardless, the Pens have their backs against the wall. Historically, that’s when they’ve done their best work.
