Nice human interest story.

Sheary bumped up to PP1. Sullivan wants all lines to contribute more to the offense. Malkin still out.

Based on his two assists today, looks like Horny's off the Crosby line and swimming in shit again... what gives?

I think Kessel was bumped up to the Crosby line and Hornqvist took the 'whack-a-mole' hammer in the head and was pounded down..

[Rehdaun]

Sullivan swapped centers today. Crosby with Horny and Hagelin and Cullen with Kessel and Kunitz. Post game Sullivan said it was to spark offense. Didn't seem to work as the bottom 6 did the scoring. Kuhnhackl scored a beauty short handed though.

Looks like Crosby is back with Kessel/Kunitz and Cullen is back with Horqvist/Hagelin. Lovejoy out and Cole in, after Lovejoy got knocked out of yesterday's game.

Fleury missed yesterday's game due to an illness.
Matt Murray has been recalled. Interesting that Sullivan says that Fleury is staring with Murray backing up. Probably a precaution in case Fleury can't go.

Fleury needs to get me a shutout today!!

Whats the plan with Plotnikov? Is he just going to be a healthy scratch for the rest of the seaoson. Hasn't played since January 6th

Sullivan doesn't have as much faith in him as he has with the Wilkes-Barre boys. More confidence in the guys he has seen more of. Although about a month old, this article from the local paper touches on it.

Murray has been sent back down.

Lovejoy out long term. Steve Oleksy brought up from the Baby Pens.

Malkin and Bonino back at practice. Won't be available against the B's tonight though.

[Rehdaun]

Sundqvist and Oleksy sent back down. Too bad for Sundqvist. He looked pretty good alongside of Rust and Kuhnackl. Might it be that they will get someone back for the next game?

Pens looking for defense at the deadline, but we all knew that with the long term injury to Lovejoy.

Maatta signed to a 6 year extension. Nice to see the Pens lock up such a good young talent long term.

Do you think Matt Murray gets any more games from here on out?

Malkin and Bonino are both expected to play Saturday. Hence Sundqvist sent down. That's already been reported

Thanks for the update. Missed that.

Only if something happens to Fleury. Zatkoff is a capable backup.
