Both teams are healthy, but without their 1st goalies. Fair game then. We have lost like last 5 games vs the Flames. Need a win now. If we can pick up some points this week, then we are in a great shape considering our soft schedule the rest of the way.

I think Horny could do very well tonight. It's going to be interesting to see how the flames handle him in front of the net.

I also feel like Jake is getting closer to having a bigger game. Maybe a 2 goal night.

I could see Sid with 4-5 pts.

I think Uncle Phil and Brassard will break out tonight. Those guys have too much skill not to click sooner or later.

I'm guessing Geno and Phil lead the team to victory while Crosby continues to float

Hopefully we can take some momentum from last game and can build on that tonight.

Flames are a very physical team, like many we see in the West. Will be incumbent upon us to really play fast and get behind their D, and a very, very solid top 4 D they have....

Let's go boys!

Johnny Gaudreau is so damn exciting to watch. But i'm torn on this one.

- Flames going west to east. Pens play solid at home.

- Flames defense is good and Pens suck against backup goalies for some reason.

Which team will show up tonight? Who knows.

Pens at home I take against anyone in the league.

Brassard got the monkey off his back last game. Feel like this a game where we can put A LOT of puck in the net. We had 50 shots last game.

Flames also have a really good road record. They're weird in that they're out of a playoff spot right now because they suck on home ice.

Looking forward to watching Bennett play. I've been wanting him on this team for years

Jagr still out I guess. Couldn't really care less, but that'd be alright if he played.

This game is the warm-up to the Philly game on Wednesday.
