The Penguins are coming off a intense game against Boston and look to keep that momentum going tonight as the Columbus Blue Jackets are at Consol Energy Center. This is a situation of back-to-back games for the teams, as they will face each other tomorrow night in Columbus. On another note, The NHL announced their three stars of the game and the second star was our Captain Sidney Crosby. They highlighted on how the two games that the Penguins lost in a row were games in which he did not record a point. Sid has been, as always, a huge part of this Penguins team and it will be nice to see the other getting more involved. The past few games, Geno has looked hungry for more goals and points. I look to him to start racking up the points along with Sid. The Penguins still need to stick to their game tonight and tomorrow, it's time for the Penguins to do what they do best! Lets Go Pens!
The Pens lineup is as follows:
Forwards
Kuni, Sid, Duper
Jokinen, Geno, Megna
Glass, Sutter, Adams
Jeffrey, Vitale, Engo
Defense
Orpik, Martin
Niskanen, Tanger
Maatta, Bortuzzo
Flower in the cage!
