The Penguins are ready to start 2014 the right way and that is with a win at Consol against the New York Rangers! The Penguins have acquired forward Taylor Pyatt from the Rangers and will play tonight. He is a great addition to the Penguins lineup and he will make his Penguins debut tonight. Kris Letang skated with the team this morning, but he is not ready to come back just yet. He is not the only one, Evgeni Malkin skated with the team yesterday, but not today. Malkin is still not ready. They are both close to coming back, but we will still have to wait. The rest of the lineup will be a game time decision and Flower will be between the pipes. Lets start this new year of right! Lets Go Pens!
The Pens lineup is as follows:
Forwards
Kuni, Sid, Neal
Gibbons, Sutter, Jokinen
Pyatt, Vitale, Adams
Glass, Sill, Engo
Defense
Orpik, Despres
Maatta, Niskanen
Scuderi, Bortuzzo
