Penguins Sweep the Senators

Last night's 3-1 victory in Ottawa in Game 4 of their opening round series was the Penguin's first sweep in a playoff series since their victory against the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1992 Stanley Cup.

Who will the Penguins meet in Round 2? While we know the Penguins won't play the top-seeded Canadiens or the sixth-seeded Flyers, we don't know much else. A Penguins-Capitals series would probably make for the most interesting hockey, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune Review.
