Pens Take On The Jets! 3/28/13

The Pens are set to take on the Winnipeg Jets tonight at the Consol Energy Center and extend their winning streak to fourteen games! Big news coming for Pittsburgh today as Ray Shero announced that the Pens had acquired Calgary Flames captain Jarome Iginla for two prospects and a 2013 first round draft pick. This trade makes the Pens a huge offensive powerhouse and hopefully it transfers on the ice. Some more good news, Geno was activated off IR today and will play tonight! There still is no update on Flower, but from what I can tell it's not believed to be a serious. Zatoff will back up Vokoun tonight.  Also the Pens have resigned Bennett to WBS. Lets see if the Pens can keep the streak going and make it fourteen!

The Pens lineup is as follows:

Forwards
Kuni, Sid, Duper


Morrow, Geno, Neal
Cooke, Sutter, TK
Glass, Vitale, Adams

Defense
Orpik, Martin
Despres, Eaton
Murry, Niskanen 


Vokoun will start in the net!
