The Toronto Maple Leafs are in town to play the Penguins tonight at 7:30pm. The Penguins are dealing with some more injuries to their lineup both on offensive and defense. Beau Bennett has undergone wrist surgery and will be out 4-10 weeks. The Penguins were dealt another blow on the injury front, Paul Martin suffered a fractured tibia during Monday nights game against the Bruins when he blocked a shot. He continued to play with the injury, which shows how tough hockey players are. Martin will be out 4-6 weeks with this injury. The Penguins have recalled players from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to combat the injury list. Jayson Megna, Chris Conner, and Simon Despres have the honor of being called up. Also, the Penguins changed up their lines during practice and were trying to see how everyone would fit in. This game is going to be hard work for the Penguins, but with everyone working together and playing their game they should come out with the win against the Maple Leafs. As always, Lets Go Pens!
The Pens lineup is as follows:
Forwards
Kuni, Sid, Duper
