SLAP SHOTS

     Call Arnold Slick from Turtle Creek, it's a hockey night in Pittsburgh! Your Pittsburgh Penguins continue their homestand at Consol Energy Center tonight when they faceoff against the Ottawa Senators. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)For the first time since 2001, the Pens are 0-3. They're on the wrong side of the win column, that's for sure. Need to get off the schneid and get a W! 2)There's no way to sugar-coat it. The Pens have been awful. They're 27th in goals per game with 1.0. They're 14th in goals against at 2.7. Their power play is 27th, 0.0%. They're 21st in penalty kill at 72.7%. They're in last place in a highly competitive Metropolitan division. They've got nowhere to go but up. Time to get fired up! 3)Through their first 3 games, the Pens have scored just 3 goals. Centers Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have only 1 assist between them. This team goes as Sid and Geno go. Time to light the lamp with Goals, Goals, Goals! Let's Go Pens!!!
