[UPDATE] Pre-Game Notes (Pittsburgh VS Vancouver) - Curry WILL Start!!

UPDATED LINEUP - FORWARDS (as of morning skate)
Rupp-Crosby-Guerin
Talbot-Malkin-Fedotenko
Cooke-Staal-Kennedy
Dupuis-Adams-Godard

[UPDATE] STARTING / BACK-UP GOALIE
Pens confirm that Curry WILL START and Pechurski to be his back-up!!!

it's STILL not certain, but it would appear that John Curry will, in fact, be getting the start tonight against the Vancouver Canucks; Johnson is still listed on IR (however, Trib-Review reports that he could be eligible because IR was retroactive January 9th) and Fleury is out with a fractured finger ... there has been some confusion as to the back-up goalie, however; last night I heard they'd be calling up AHL back-up goalie, Brad Thiessen, but today the Penguins announced that they signed their 2008 draft pick, Alexander Pechurski, to a "one-game amateur try out" so it looks like he could be Curry's back-up tonight

LINE COMBINATIONS (projected)
Dupuis-Crosby-Guerin
Talbot-Malkin-Fedotenko
Cooke-Staal-Kennedy
Rupp-Adams-Godard

Goligoski-Letang
