The Penguins are ready to get back on track tonight at Consol against the Dallas Stars! The Penguins are battling injuries, which they are no stranger to. However some good news on the injury front is that Chris Kunitz, Kris Letang, and James Neal have returned to practice. It's great news to hear that those guys are getting back to playing condition and huge relief that Kris Letang has been cleared. He is a great player and it's great to see him doing well after suffering a stroke, which is unthinkable for someone at such a young age. Flower will be getting a rest tonight after playing back to back games against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Penguins need to bounce back after the two losses to the Flyers! They need to play a clean game and outwork the other team! Lets do this Pens!
