SLAP SHOTS

     Great balls of fire, it's a hockey night in Pittsburgh! Your Pittsburgh Penguins return to the home ice of Consol Energy Center tonight as they faceoff against the Edmonton Oilers. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)Edmonton, already eliminated from playoff-contention, is one of the worst teams in the league at 18-38-11 and 47 points. Their road record is 8-18-9. The Pens carry a record of 38-18-10 with 86 points and a home mark of 20-10-3 into this game. Both teams are coming off Monday losses. The Oilers lost at Detroit 5-2. The Pens lost in a shootout at San Jose 2-1. Don't sleep on this team and take them too lightly. Crank up the Crue and the Goals, Goals, Goals, baby! 2)The Pens were 0 for 12 on the power play on their recent road trip. Edmonton is 27th on the penalty kill at 77.7%. Take advantage of the man-advantage. Man up! 3)The Pens are 5-0-1 in their last 6 versus Edmonton. G Marc-Andre Fleury is 6-0-0 with a 1.84 GAA in his last 6 starts against the Oilers. Flower Power! Let's Go Pens!!!
