We are in Canada's Capital city of Ottawa! The Pittsburgh Penguins face off against the Ottawa Senators with another piece missing from their lineup.
Jake Guentzel took a hard hit from Buffalo Sabres player Ramus Ristolainen. Ristolainen received a major penalty and a games misconduct. Guentzel was reported as having suffered a concussion. Today, the NHL stated that Ristolainen will be suspended for three games for his hit on Guentzel. There is a video of the hit on Facebook, if you haven't seen it. Take a look, but beware it's a bad hit.
The Penguins are no strangers to dealing with injuries and mounting injuries at that through the seasons. They will have to stay focus, play smart, and stay out of the box. There is no reason they shouldn't be able to finish with a win. Lets Go Pens!
The Pens lineup is as follows:

Wilson - Crosby - Sheary
Kessel - Cullen - Hornqvist
Kunitz - Bonino - Rowney
Kuhnhackl - Sundqvist - Archibald
