Riley Sheahan scored twice and Tristan Jarry won his first NHL start in more than a month and the Penguins took a 5-2 victory from the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday night.
The Penguins have won five in a row and 10 of their last 12 games. The win pushed them one point ahead of the Washington Capitals and into the top spot in the Metropolitan Division.
The Capitals have played three fewer games and could reclaim their perch as soon as Monday afternoon, but it represents a significant accomplishment for the Penguins all the same.
The Pens are off till Friday when they head to Carolina.
