Pittsburgh Penguins

Hornqvist looked to still be in the bottom six, but definitely earning his way back up into the top six..

Yea Horny was still on L3. I have a feeling that Sullivan will keep him there for a few more games. At least until production slow down.
He's still seeing a ton of PP time though. 73, 66, 77 and 71% the last four games.

First half of a home-at-home with Chicago. Tough matchup tonight with Chicago coming in with a 32-13-4 record, winning three straight.

Optional morning skate with most of the team choosing not to skate. Assuming the same lineup as last game.

Fleury starts. Assume Zatkoff tomorrow.

Chicago 3 Pittsburgh 2 (OT)

Nice rally for Pittsburgh scoring two in the third after going down 2-0 in the second. It's been a while since we have seen this.

Monster game from Crosby and Letang. Haven't mentioned Letang much but he's be fantastic since the holiday break.
Kunitz and Perron seemed to defer to Crosby a lot. Perron did give Crosby a nice drop pass for his goal.
Malkin-Kessel had some nice chances in the third with Kessel ringing one off the post half way into the third.

I thought the Pens were done, but wow did they claw back!! Letang another two assists!!

[lektrix]

Didn't he score 1G 1A??

Looks like Horny continues to get shafted on lines and ice time. I'll probably be dumping him soon...

Yes sorry, you are right.. Letang has been on fire since being back!!

Letang's been great but it's only a matter of time before he gets injured again

I'm hoping the injures are done for Letang this season.

Yea he has. I was hoping his 13 shots in the two games before this one was a start of something good. He was playing with emotion and shooting a ton. Even with the less amount of TOI I felt that he could still sustain production, playing against lesser opponents as long as his shot rate remained high.

I didn't see as much intensity last night and his shot rate decreased. He did have a great opportunity in the third, I think, but wasn't really noticeable for the most part.

The only plus was that he was put on the Malkin-Kessel line for a couple of shifts in the third before Letang scored. Lines were adjusted back to normal after that though.

Might be some good news for Hornqvist owners. Horny was put on the Malkin-Kessel line at the end of the first period. The line has been kept together so far in the second. We will see if the line sticks through the rest of the game.

Man, Panarin will be the death of Pens. I'm glad that series is over.

I'm starting to come to the view that the only fantasy relevant guys on the Pens are Crosby, Malkin, Kessel and Letang. Piggy backing off line mates as it relates to Crosby/Malkin has never worked (with the exception of Neal).

How bout those Pens... out shot 2-1 by the Hawks. You'd think they'd come out with some fire in the belly after last night's loss. This team has fallen hard.

Hornqvist is fantasy relevant. I added him three weeks ago and he's been a stud ever since in shots hits and points.

You bite your tongue, HaHa..

In case you were wondering the Malkin-Kessel-Hornqvist did finish the game intact.
