The Pittsburgh Penguins (13-14-5) have another chance to get to .500 Tuesday night when they host the LA Kings (18-9-3) at PPG Paints Arena. The Penguins have won six of their last nine games, amassing 13 of the last 18 possible points, and have moved to within striking distance of the Eastern Conference wild-card spots.

The Penguins are one point behind the Ottawa Senators in the jumbled Eastern Conference wild-card race. Five teams, including the Penguins, have 31 or 32 points in the Eastern Conference.
The Penguins rallied from down 1-0 and 2-1 Saturday against Ottawa.
