The Penguins traveled to Columbus on Easter Sunday as they are getting ready to take on the Blue Jackets tonight at 7pm. The Penguins recalled Chris Conner from Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins as Gibbons is unlikely to play due to an undisclosed injury he suffered in game two. There have been some more changes to the Penguins as Blysma has decided to change up the power play configuration. Instead of four forwards and one defender, but has changed to three forwards and two defenders. The Penguins played another hard fought game and lost in overtime to the Blue Jackets. The Penguins had some major issues on the special teams as their power play was only able to capitalize once. Hopefully the new change up will give the Penguins power play a much needed boost. Marc-Andre Fleury was amazing in the net, but the Penguins need to manage the puck better and play a more complete defensive game. The Penguins will have to battle in a loud and excited arena tonight. Lets make the arena go silent! Lets Go Pens!
The Pens lineup is as follows:
Forwards
Kuni, Sid, Bennett
Jokinen, Geno, Neal
Megna, Sutter, Stempniak
Glass, Vitale, Adams
Defense
Orpik, Martin
Maatta, Niskanen
Scuderi, Tanger
Flower in the cage!
