Pre-Game Notes (Pittsburgh VS Washington)

EARLY SKATE
power play units took the ice about 1/2 hour earlier than the rest of the team to put in a little extra work (its about time) ; )

LINE COMBINATIONS (projected by morning skate)
Dupuis-Crosby-Fedotenko
Ponikarovsky-Malkin-Guerin
Cooke-Staal-Kennedy
Rupp-Talbot-Adams

SAME DEFENSIVE PAIRS AS USUAL


KUNITZ
everyone was on the ice today for this morning's skate except for Kunitz who remains "day-to-day" after suffering an "undisclosed injury" on Saturday; not likely he'll be in the lineup tonight against the Capitals

WASHINGTON INJURY / LINE INFO
John Carlson (D), upper body injury -
Boyd Gordon (F), back injury -
Brendan Morrison (F), lower body injury -
Milan Jurcina (D), sports hernia - out indefinitely
this morning, the Caps called up defenseman Karl Alzner and forward Jay Beagle from the Hershey Bears (AHL affiliate)
