Pens Morning Skate 3/20/12

Pens are on the ice for their morning practice. Johnson and Vitale are missing and both have undisclosed injuries.

The Pens worked the majority of the time on working on the PP. Same first unit as usual and the second unit of  Cooke and TK down low by the goal, Sullivan and Staal at the halfwalls, and Niskanen at the point. They worked on 5 on 4 and then some time on the 5 on 3.

Vitale has an upper body injury and is day-to-day. Johnson skated earlier this morning first for his rehab.

Thiessen will start in the net for tonight's game.

Pens take on the Jets tonight at 7pm. Game preview to follow this.
