SLAP SHOTS

     Buy Sam a drink and get his dog one, too; it's a great day for hockey! Our Pittsburgh Penguins return to home ice this afternoon to faceoff against the Winnipeg Jets at Consol Energy Center. These are your keys for today's game. 1)C Evgeni Malkin is expected back on the ice today. It will be a welcome return. The Pens are just 1 for 24 on the power play since Geno left the lineup. Take advantage of the man advantage. Man up! 2)On home ice, the Pens have defeated Winnipeg in 14 straight. Ground the Jets! 3)The Pens managed just 1 goal in Wednesday night's 5-1 loss to the Bruins. That just won't do. Crank up the Crue for some Goals, Goals, Goals! Let's Go Pens!!!
