SLAP SHOTS

     Lookout, Loretta, it's a hockey night in Pittsburgh! Our Pittsburgh Penguins return to the ice tonight to faceoff against the Colorado Avalanche at Consol Energy Center. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pens got back in the win column and C Evgeni Malkin got back on the scoresheet in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild. Geno had a role in all 4 Penguins goals. C Sidney Crosby was shutout again. Time for Sid to get on the stick. Slap me silly, Sidney! 2)Despite collecting 2 goals on the power play Tuesday night, the Pens continue to struggle with the man-advantage. They're 27th in the NHL at 14.3%. Colorado's penalty kill is ranked 22nd at 77%. Time to man-up! 3)The Pens are also #27 in goals per game with a 2.2 average. Colorado is ranked 21st in goals against at 2.8. Break out the Goals, Goals, Goals, baby! Let's Go Pens!!!
