UPDATED Pre-Game News


Dany Sabourin will start in goal tonight for the Penguins.

The lines and defensive pairings at this morning's skate were as follows:
OFFENSIVE

Dupuis - Crosby - Satan
Fedotenko - Malkin - Sykora
Minard - Staal - Cooke
Taffe - Talbot - Godard / Wallace (must be an enforcer!) - they reported it would be a game-time decision as to whether Godard or Wallace will start tonight
DEFENSIVE

Orpik - Scuderi
Eaton - Letang
Goligoski - Lovejoy


MARC-ANDRE FLEURY
Fleury practiced with the team again for the second-day straight yesterday; however, Therrien reported that he will not return to the lineup anytime this week.

PHILIPPE BOUCHER
Boucher also returned to practice yesterday, but is still listed as "week-to-week" and is highly unlikely to play in tonight's game.

MIKE ZIGOMANIS
Zigomanis is still listed as "day-to-day" with an undisclosed injury and it looks very likely that he will not return to the lineup for tonight's game (since two AHL players were called up).

JEFF TAFFE / TIM WALLACE
Both Taffe and Wallace were recalled from the Baby Pens yesterday.

I'm glad to see Taffers back in Pittsburgh - I was sad to see him get sent down. But seriously, I feel like half our current lineups consist of players that have been recently called up - quit hurting yourselves, boys!

I miss Fleur :(

We really cannot afford anymore injuries, I hope all the guys that are out get better soon and we hae no more sey backs.
