It's finally here! Opening night for the Penguins and the Consol Energy Center! And what could be better than opening against the hated Philidelphia Flyers.
A few quick notes...Asham is not practicing today so it looks pretty certain he will not be in the lineup against his formaer team. This is kinda disappointing but we do play the Flyers a few times early in the season so he will get his chance. UPDATE: Asham has been placed on IR and will definitely not playing tonight
According to 93.7 thefan, the top power play unit at practice this morning was Crosby, Malkin, Kunitz, Comrie, and Goligoski. Very interesting going with 4 forwards and having Goligoski move into the quarterback role. The Pens are putting an awful lot of faith in Goligoski. It's time for him to turn it up a notch.
Also according to 93.7, Godard is not on a regular line. This is a little surprising considering the opponent. With Asham apparently out, their are a few players that will have to step up their physical game. Still a possibility Adams will sit and Godard will play
Unofficially, it looks like the lines will be the following:
Crosby-Dupuis-Kunitz
Malkin-Comrie-Tangradi
Cooke-Letestu-Kennedy
Rupp-Talbot-Adams
