We have arrived at Game 82, a game whose only purpose is to provide one last tune-up for the postseason and the outcome of which only matters insofar as everyone emerges healthy. But of course, it is the Penguins, so it’ll always mean a little more even when the game itself is meaningless – one last look at, and one last chance to beat, the flightless fowl until next season.
