Pens vs Blues

[PghSteel-43]

This is going to be a tough one.  Thankfully we are done with this road trip after this game.

Blues are among the league leaders in PK (86.8%) and as of yesterday they are ranked #1 on the PP (31.7%). Tkachuk is the one we need to watch. Guy has eight goals on the season. One plus, they have been shut out in two of their last three games.

Injuries:

Penguins: Talbot and Crosby are listed as "day-to-day".

Blues: Bishop (out), Johnson (out), King (out), Legace (out), Pietrangelo (out).

Little fact: Frank is Alex Pietrangelo's dad's second cousin for those who were wondering.
