[PROJECTED] LINES
Coach Therrien is sticking with what we've been seeing the past few games (at least for the first few minutes of the game!); here are the combination to start tonight against the New York Rangers:
TALBOT - CROSBY - SATAN
FEDOTENKO - MALKIN - SYKORA
COOKE ("A") - STAAL ("A") - KENNEDY
DUPUIS - ZIGOMANIS - GODARD

It appears that Dany Sabourin will start in goal tonight for the Pens.

MARK EATON
Eaton looks to reach a career milestone with tonight's game against the Rangers - it will be his 400th career game since his rookie year in 1999.

“It seems like it’s been forever ago,” Eaton said of his rookie season. “I feel very fortunate to be able to make it this far and play this long. I’m very blessed. Hopefully, I’m not even halfway there. It’s the old cliché, but I take it one game at a time.”

KRIS LETANG
Letang will be using a new stick during tonight's game. Actually, he'll be going back to his "old" stick which was suggested to him by the Penguins coaching staff since he's hit a goal-scoring dry spell and hasn't scored a goal since March 12, 2008 (49 games including the team's playoff run)!

“We strongly suggested that he change his stick,” Therrien said with a smile. “Maybe sometimes it’s a matter of confidence.”

RYAN WHITNEY
Whitney is once again practicing with the Penguins for the first time this morning in New York since missing the last two practices to be fitted for special-made skates.

MARC-ANDRE FLEURY
Fleury has still not participated in practice with the team, but continued with strength and conditioning following the team's morning skate.

PHILIPPE BOUCHER
Boucher did not travel with the Penguins for this three-game road trip. He remains "week-to-week" with an undisclosed injury.
