SLAP SHOTS

     I'll be cow-kicked, it's a hockey night in Pittsburgh! Your Pittsburgh Penguins play their 2nd game on home ice in 2 days as they faceoff tonight against the San Jose Sharks at Consol Energy Center. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pens try to put together back-to-back victories for the first time since March 6-7 following yesterday's 3-2 win over AZ. They welcomed C Evegeni Malkin and F Patric Hornqvist back to the lineup yesterday but may be without the services of D Kris Letang tonight. Tanger left yesterday's game following a hit from Arizona's Shane Doan. Win it for Tanger! 2)San Jose rides into Pittsburgh following a 3-2 shootout win in Philadelphia yesterday. Sink the Sharks! 3)In the last 20 matchups, San Jose holds the lead in this series, going 16-2-1. The Sharks are likely to start G Antti Niemi against Pens G Marc-Andre Fleury. Niemi is 4-1-0 with 2.65 GAA in 6 career starts versus the Pens. Light the lamp with Goals, Goals, Goals! Let's Go Pens!!!
