[UPDATE 2] Pre-Game Notes (Pittsburgh VS Philadelphia) - CONSOL Home Opener

ASHAM / LETANG (and STAAL)
[UPDATE] Asham has been placed on IR

[UPDATE]
the PPG is reporting the Letang missed the morning skate due to "illness" and is questionable for tonight's game - will be a gametime decision (Engelland would replace him in the lineup)


it appears that Arron Asham will be out of tonight's lineup with an upper-body injury he suffered during the pre-season; Kris Letang did not participate on the ice this morning (and as already discussed endlessly, Staal will be out for the first several weeks of the season)

LINE COMBINATIONS (projected from this morning's skate)
Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Tangradi-Comrie-Malkin
Cooke-Letestu-Kennedy
Rupp-Adams-Talbot-Godard (all players were rotated)

Orpik-Michalek
Lovejoy-Martin
Goligoski-Engelland
