The Pittsburgh Penguins have secured home-ice advantage in the first round of the postseason.
The club clinched second place in the Metropolitan Division thanks to a New York Rangers loss to the New York Islanders meaning they will host the third-place team in the division.
The club opened the playoffs last season on the road against the Rangers, a series they would drop 4-1.
If the playoffs were to begin today, the Penguins would face the Islanders in a first-round matchup.
