Penguins-Senators series starts Saturday at PPG Paints Arena

For the fifth time in his NHL career, Penguins captain Sidney Crosby will meet the Ottawa Senators in a postseason series.

With a 2-0 victory over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night, the Penguins earned a berth in the Eastern Conference finals. They'll meet Ottawa, which defeated the Rangers in six games in a second-round series.

The Penguins won three of the first four playoff meetings between the teams.

“They've got some depth,” Crosby said. “They're very confident in their game right now. They're pretty stingy defensively, and their goaltender has been playing really well. When you look at the teams that get to this point, a lot of similar things get you to this point. They believe in their group and the way they play. It will be a good test for us.”
