    PITTSBURGH (AP) The chase began nearly a year ago Nashville Predators Hoodies Authentic , when Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan addressed hundreds of thousands of fans following a second Stanley Cup championship parade through choked downtown streets in as many summers.Rather than run from the challenge of trying to become the first franchise in 35 years to win three consecutive Cups, Sullivan embraced it.”I wonder if we can repeat, or three-peat, should I say,” Sullivan said.Following an occasionally rocky regular season, the Penguins begin their pursuit in earnest Wednesday night when they host cross-state rival Philadelphia Flyers to open their first-round series. Asked Tuesday if he remembers openly talking about a three-peat – last accomplished by the New York Islanders in 1983 – Sullivan just shrugged. He wasn’t so much predicting another mid-June celebration as he was stating the obvious.”We believe that we have a group that’s capable,” Sullivan said. ”And we’ve shown an ability to have success in a high-stakes environment.”For proof, look no further than the most recent names etched on hockey’s most coveted chalice. The Penguins have won series in all kinds of ways over the last two years. They’ve dominated. They’ve rallied. Mostly, they’ve survived. And the Flyers have noticed.”They have all the pieces Nashville Predators Hats Authentic ,” Philadelphia center Claude Giroux said. ”On paper they’re a really good team and in the playoffs they always find a way.”The Flyers, however, present a unique challenge. Philadelphia hasn’t won a playoff series since it beat the favored Penguins in six sometimes chaotic games in 2012. The Flyers pulled off the upset thanks in part to a meltdown by Pittsburgh. The Penguins lost their composure at times, leading to a string of power plays that Philadelphia rode to victory.While the majority of the faces that will take the ice at PPG Paints Arena are different, the history of antagonism between the two clubs remains. Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby understands things are likely to get chippy. He’d prefer they not get out of hand.”I don’t think we’re looking to fight,” Crosby said. ”It will definitely be an intense series, we know that.”One in which the erratic Flyers, who endured a 10-game winless streak around Thanksgiving, know they are the underdogs. That’s fine. In some ways Custom Nashville Predators Jerseys , they’ve been one all season.”In reality, when you have to earn your way and your margin of error is pretty short all the way along, it tests you,” Philadelphia coach Dave Haksol said. ”Sometimes you pass the test. Sometimes you fail the test. It tests you and pushes you to get better.”Some things to look for as Philadelphia tries to put an abrupt end to Pittsburgh’s bid at winning a fourth Cup during the Crosby Era.POWER HOUR: The Penguins and their star-laden power play led the league and set a franchise record by scoring 26.2 percent of the time with the man advantage. Their number this season was just a touch better than the 26.0 the 1995-96 club posted, a group that included Hall of Famers Mario Lemieux and Ron Francis and future Hall of Famer Jaromir Jagr. The Flyers understand their best chance to pull off the upset will be by staying out of the penalty box.”They got special players that make special plays,” Giroux said. ”For us it’s to make sure we minimize those chances.”HOW SWEEP IT IS? The Penguins took all four meetings between the teams during the regular season, scoring five goals each time. Look closer, however, and things are tighter than they seem. Both games in Pittsburgh ended with the Penguins escaping 5-4 following goals during the three-on-three overtime. There are no extra-period gimmicks in the playoffs.”I don’t think we’ve played our best game or a full 60 minutes against Pittsburgh yet www.officialdevils.com ,” Flyers forward Sean Couturier said. ”But I like our chances if we play some good hockey for 60 minutes, maybe even more.”BRASSARD BONANZA: Pittsburgh’s big move at the trade deadline was to bring in Derick Brassard from Ottawa to center the third line. Brassard appeared to be hitting his stride in late March before suffering a lower-body injury. He should be good to go in Game 1, and his presence gives the Penguins perhaps the best depth down the middle of any team in the league.”I’m just going to try and keep it simple early and go from there,” Brassard said.— COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Just three games back after an injury that sidelined him for nearly a month, Markus Nutivaara played in place of injured star Seth Jones on the power-play unit. His second-period goal ended up being the game-winner for the Columbus Blue Jackets.Nutivaara scored his first goal since Jan. 23, Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 23 shots, and the surging Blue Jackets outlasted the Ottawa Senators 2-1 Saturday night for their season-high seventh straight win.”Jonesy is definitely a key guy, so you can see we miss him New Jersey Devils T-Shirts Authentic ,” said Bobrovsky, who picked up his 32nd win of the season. ”But still we have depth on defense. Guys were smart, Nuti stepped up tonight and made a huge goal.”The Blue Jackets are holding on to the first wild card spot in the Eastern Conference with 83 points, tied with Philadelphia and one point ahead of New Jersey. Bobrovksy said the team is loose and playing as well as ever.”It’s become that feeling that you can relax and just do your thing and don’t worry about anything else,” he said. ”You know that guys will do their job. We have a good atmosphere in the locker room.”Boone Jenner also scored for Columbus, his third tally in three games.Alexandre Burrows scored his fifth of the year and Mike Condon stopped 33 shots for Ottawa, which saw a three-game winning streak snapped on the second night of a back-to-back.Burrows gave the Senators a 1-0 lead when he knocked a bouncing puck past Bobrovsky from the doorstep 12 minutes into the first period. Jenner tied it up later in the first when he caught up with a fluttering pass from Thomas Vanek in the slot and lifted it over Condon’s shoulder.”I can’t overstate how important that play was, just to get us tied,” Columbus coach John Tortorella said. ”I thought it was a really good effort by Thomas in the neutral zone. It was a huge play in the game to get back even before maybe they score another one. If they score another one New Jersey Devils Hoodies Authentic , you never know where it goes.”Ottawa’s Max McCormick went to the penalty box late in the second period for plowing over Bobrovsky, a hit that required a trainer’s visit to make sure the goalie was OK. With 22 seconds left in the Blue Jackets’ power play, Nutivaara connected on a slap shot from the point.Senators coach Guy Boucher said his team is showing the effects of a difficult schedule.”We gave whatever we had,” Boucher said. ”It was a back-to-back. They were waiting for us. This was our fourth back-to-back in 15 days and all four back-to-backs were against teams that were not on the back-to-back. So at some point you have to be fair to the players. It’s ridiculous. They gave everything they had until the very end. They pushed with whatever was left.”NOTES: Ottawa F Ryan Dzingel had to be helped off the ice in third period after getting hit in the head. Boucher said afterward that he’s expected to be fine. … Columbus coach John Tortorella said Jones, who has an ”upper body- injury, is day-to-day. … Ottawa F Jim O’Brien got his first assist since March 16, 2013 – five years and a day – on Burrows’ first-period goal. … Condon started for Ottawa after Craig Anderson made 23 saves in a 3-2 overtime win against the Dallas Stars on Friday. … Jenner has four goals and two assists in the last five games. … Columbus is 17-0 when leading after two periods at Nationwide Arena.UP NEXT:Ottawa: Hosts Dallas on Friday.Columbus: Plays at Boston on Monday.—
