SLAP SHOTS

She wants to sell my monkey! It's a hockey night in Pittsburgh! Your Pittsburgh Penguins look to get back in the win column tonight as they faceoff against the Phoenix Coyotes at Consol Energy Center. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)After going 0 for 5 on the power play in Sunday's 1-0 loss to St. Louis, the Pens will welcome Phoenix with open arms. The Coyotes are 27th in the NHL on the penalty kill at 79.6%. Meanwhile, despite Sunday's ineptitude, the Pens remain first in the league on the PP at 24.1%. Take advantage of the man advantage! 2)Good thing the Pens are ranked #2 in the league on the penalty kill at 86%. The Coyotes are 3rd in the NHL on the power play at 20.8%. We need those special teams to be special! 3)The Pens may be 26-6-2 at home this season but they're a mediocre 5-4-1 in their last 10 games overall. It's the opposite for Phoenix. They are a middling 13-14-8 on the road. However, they're 7-3 in their last 10 games. Score early, score often, score BIG with lots of Goals, Goals, Goals! Let's Go Pens!!!
