Tonight your Pittsburgh Penguins host the Ottawa Senators at the Mellon Arena and the Pens have made some roster changes for tonight's game. Eric Godard will be sidelined with a groin injury (sorry ladies) for 4-6 weeks. The Pens signed forward Joe Vitale who has played in Wilkes-Barre so far this season. The Pens also recalled Nick Johnson, who was just send down to WBS on Tuesday, hopefully Nick is on the frequent flier program. I thought Nick played well with Feds and Geno in the three games before he was send down.
Here are the starting lines for tonight's game from the Pens website, check out their new designed game day page here.

Here are the highlights from the last meeting.
My thoughts for tonight's game:
1.) Strike early and often.
2.) Stay focused defensively
3.) Heavy forecheck.
“It was so exciting because I always wanted to skate with him,” Michael said after. “He is really good and still has a good shot.” Make a Wish patient Michael Saikali, 11.
