The Penguins will be hosting the Florida Panthers at Consol Energy Center! It's hockey night in Pittsburgh! The Penguins have had a few days off since the Capitals game (around four days) and that has been a huge help for the injured players. Paul Martin and Jayson Megna have been skating and progress in their recovery. Along with some other injured Penguins players including James Neal, who said he is ready for tonight's game. This is a great sign as the Penguins are slowly gaining back players and getting healthy. On a side note, Sidney Crosby has been named the Captain of Team Canada! Congrats to our Captain on becoming his Nation's team Captain, which is well deserved! The following players are on the ice for the pre-game warmup: Martin, Megna, Kobasew. Great to see these injured players back on the ice before a game! This game should be a good game for the Penguins and hopefully they play a full 60 minute game. Lets Go Pens!
The Pens lineup is as follows:
Forwards
Kuni, Sid, Kobasew
Jokinen, Geno, Neal
Pyatt, Sutter, Glass
Adams, Sill, Megna
Defense
Orpik, Martin
Scuderi, Tanger
Maatta, Niskanen
Flower in the cage!
