The Penguins go into the game on Wednesday having won the last four in a row. In that span they have slowly gotten players back off the injured list to give their team a deeper look. Eric Fehr had a superb debut for the Penguins against Toronto last Saturday and the Penguins will be hoping to see more of that. Kunitz is a game-time decision to play as he is carrying a niggling injury according to Johnston. Former Penguin Brandon Sutter will play against his old club for the first time since his summer trade.
The games against Edmonton and Calgary should be more open and the perfect chance for Crosby to get back into his groove before the visit of the Canadiens on the 11th of November. The media has been harder on him this year but with him currently scoring only 5 points through 11 games you can understand the concern. This isn't the Sid we're used to and hopefully he comes back soon.
The Penguins will play the Oilers sans-McDavid who got injured against the Flyers last night. He has damaged his clavicle and will require surgery which will mean he is out for months, according to the Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli. A huge blow to those who wanted to see him go up against Crosby.
The Oilers are 28th for Goals against whilst the Flames are 30th. So the Penguins should look to fill their boots against such weak defensive opposition. The Penguins have a lot to thank Fleury for this season and hopefully he can continue his good start. I suspect that Fleury will play against the Canucks and Flames with Zatkoff against the Oilers. Lets go Pens!
