The Penguins are coming off a 4-2 over the Blue Jackets last night at Consol, then turning around to travel to Columbus for a back-to-back game! The Penguins looked good and had some great chances on net, even chasing out Vezina trophy winner Bobrovsky. That didn't stop the Blue Jackets from coming strong and Flower was the star of the game.

Glass, Sutter, Adams
