Hoping for a nice competitive game that ends without any injuries.
Quick 2022-2023 scouting report for you guys.
The Pens are firing on all cylinders. They are getting more production out of their second line, largely due to the addition of Petry. He gives them a competent offensive brain that compliments the offense (much like Letang and L1). Petry, Rutta and Poehling have all made positive contributions this season, and are all new faces.
Crosby hasn’t missed a beat and Malkin looks better than last season.
Jarry has been playing very well.
Even the 2022 scapegoats (Kapanen, Zucker) have looked really solid.
CBJ will need Elvis to be better than he’s played in some time. The defense simply cannot make the mistakes they’ve made early in games that I’ve seen from the Jackets.
