Pittsburgh Penguins vs Montreal Canadiens Gameday

Lets all forget about the opener..It's time for redemption. well, sort of. The players will tell you its just another game, but having played sports, there will definitely be a little more emphasis tonight. Both teams are coming off opener losses. Montreal lost to Toronto 3-2.

As far I as I know, all the lines will be the same tonight. On to the pros and cons....


PROS:
  • The Pens will be hungry. They were disappointed in the opener and hopefully will be out to prove something in front of the home crowd
  • In the regular season last year against Montreal, Fleury was 3-1 with a 2.12 GAA. I said it in my reasons to be optimistic post, I think fleury is going to have a great season this year.
  • Defense..Last postseason, the Pens never had an answer for Cammelleri. I think the revamped D will keep him in check and wont allow him the wide open looks he had all through the semifinals last year

CONS:
  • Speaking of Cammelleri, he makes his 10-11 debut tonight because of serving a 1 game suspension. He will be riding some confidence and energy. I fully believe the Pens defense will contain him, but he will always be a threat
  • The Canadiens penalty kill continued its success for the first game, holding Toronto scoreless on 5 attempts. Can the Pens PP break through?
