The Penguins are in Calgary to finish up their Western Canada road trip tonight. This is the Penguins second game in a back-to-back set. The Penguins are coming off a overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers last night and will look to bounce back. On a good note, Sidney Crosby scored a goal and checked the Oilers off the list of teams (very short one now) that he hasn't scored against. The Penguins want to close out this road trip with a win before coming back to Pittsburgh! The Penguins just need to stay focus, use their speed, and keep up the offensive pressure. Lets Go Pens!
The Pens lineup is as follows:
Forwards
Kuni, Sid, Gibbons
Jokinen, Geno, Neal
Pyatt, Sutter, Glass
Adams, Sill, Engo
Defense
Orpik, Bortuzzo
Niskanen, Maatta
Tanger, Scuderi
Flower in the cage!
