Its a hockey night...crap, 1:00 pm game in Pittsburgh. Anyone else really, really hate afternoon games. So this afternoon the Penguins play host to the Carolina Hurricanes at the Mellon. Pittsburgh is coming off a five game road trip that had its ups and downs, but finished very strong with an emotional 3-0 win against the Bruins.
Because of the early start time, no practice will be held this morning so no official word on Evgeni Malkin will skate. So line ups are a guess but here it goes.
Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Ponikarovsky-Malkin-Fedotenko
Cooke-Staal-Guerin
Rupp-Adams-Kennedy
