It's great to be back tonight after a long work night, but nothing like working for an NHL team. I was excited to see the Penguins come out with a win against the Washington Capitals. Sidney Crosby tallied three points that night in a 3-2 win. The Penguins are now back home and will be facing the Capitals once again. This is of course a huge rivalry. It's the last regular season game against the Capitals and look to keep their winning streak against them going. I think the Penguins can handle it tonight. The Capitals will be playing the same netminder tonight Jaroslav Halak. The Penguins have to come out with speed and take it early to the Capitals as they will be playing some desperate hockey to get a much needed two points.
The Pens lineup is as follows:
Forwards
Kuni, Sid, Stempniak
Jokinen, Geno, Neal
Pyatt, Sutter, Gibbons
Glass, Goc, Adams
Defense
Orpik, Maatta
Scuderi, Niskanen
Despres, Bortuzzo
Flower in the cage!
