The Pittsburgh Penguins will clinch a berth in the Stanley Cup Playoffs if they defeat the Buffalo Sabres in any fashion, or earn one point and the Boston Bruins lose to the Ottawa Senators in regulation. They also can take over first place in the Metropolitan Division and Eastern Conference with a win and a Washington Capitals loss to the Calgary Flames. "I think just the situation we're in alone, regardless of who we end up playing (in the playoffs), it's forcing us to rally around and find ways to win games and find that level of desperation that's sometimes hard to find unless you are fighting for a playoff position or just to get in the playoffs themselves," center Sidney Crosby said. "I think that alone will hopefully help us kind of transition into the playoffs." The Penguins have won two straight games but will be without forward Tom Sestito because of an upper-body injury. "He's day to day so we'll take each day as it comes, but that's where he's at," coach Mike Sullivan said. Defenseman Frank Corrado is poised to make his Penguins debut after skating with Mark Streit on Tuesday. Corrado was acquired in a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs on March 1 and recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League on Monday. "He's a good player. He's a solid two-way defenseman," Sullivan said. "We think he can help us win right now. We'll see how it goes but certainly he's another guy that adds to the depth of our defense corps here and we've obviously needed that depth down the stretch to continue to find ways to win games." Goalie Matt Murray will start.
