Swept away - 03-13-10
For some reason, this seemed like a good stat to bring up.
The Penguins are on the verge of being swept in their season series against Devils. Should Martin Brodeur (above) and New Jersey pull out a win in their re-match Wednesday, they will be the first team to have swept a season series of four or more games against the Penguins since the dreadful 2005-06 campaign.
The all-time series sweeps of four or more games at the expense of the Penguins:
| Team | Season | Record |
| Blackhawks | 1969-70 | 0-6-0 |
| Bruins | 1973-74 1977-78 2005-06 |
0-5-0 0-5-0 0-3-1 |
| Canadiens | 1967-68 1972-73 1975-76 2001-02 |
