SLAP SHOTS

Mrs. Black-N-Gold is smiling like a butcher's dog 'cause it's a great day for hockey! Your Pittsburgh Penguins take their show on the road to Montreal tonight as they faceoff against the Canadiens. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pens are mired in a slump, losing 2 straight, going 4-4-2 in their last 10 games, including a loss to Montreal last week. The Habs have lost 1 but are 8-2-0 in their last 10. Break out of this funk. Bring home a W! 2)Both teams are in the top 5 in the league in goals against. Montreal is 3rd allowing 2.3 goals per game. The Pens are #5, giving up 2.4 goals per game. Pack up the Motley Crue for some Goals, Goals, Goals! 3)The Pens continue to be stingy on the penalty kill, ranking 2nd in the NHL at 87.9%. The Habs have the 27th power play at 14.2%. Don't let them take advantage of the man-advantage. Man-up! Let's Go Pens!!!
