Pre-Game Notes (Pittsburgh Penguins vs. New York Rangers)

Another day, another Staal brother (Marc) to defeat!

MATT COOKE
[UPDATE] It's confirmed that Cooke will play in tonight's game and the fourth line will most likely be switched around for him to play alongside Mike Zigomanis and Eric Godard.

We now know that Cooke's mysterious injury was bruised ribs and it looks likely that he'll be in tonight's lineup against the Rangers.
"It's a management thing, basically. They usually take a long time. But I've allowed them to heal naturally. I'm rid of the sharp pains."
HAL GILL
Gill's injury has yet to be disclosed, but Rob Rossi reports it's believed that Gill injured his right hand on a blocked shot during last Monday's game against the Bruins. He did not practice yesterday and it looks like he will not play in tonight's game, but head coach Michel Therrien reported that Gill may return to the lineup sometime during the Penguins four-game road trip
