The Pittsburgh Penguins are back at Consol Energy Center after a 12-day road trip, which they came out
with two losses and two wins. Tonight, they face the Los Angeles Kings in
Pittsburgh!
Changes to the lineup will be seen on the defense as Kris
Letang will be out of the lineup again, due to an upper body injury he suffered
in the Colorado Avalanche game. Rob Scuderi was a healthy scratch that game, so
look for him to fill in the open spot.
The Penguins will have to stay a focus and play a full game.
They have had trouble playing consistently for an entire game.
Lets Go Pens!
The Pens lineup is as follows:
Forwards
Kunitz - Crosby - Bennett
Perron - Malkin - Kessel
Fehr - Bonino - Hornqvist
Plotnikov - Cullen - Sprong
Defense
Dumoulin - Lovejoy
Maatta - Warsofsky
Scuderi - Cole
Fleury in net!
