A Pivotal Global Event?
The Canes face the Pens twice in the next 12 days. Calvin de Haan practiced yesterday in a regular jersey but with a full face shield. He’s unlikely to play tonight though. I expect we’ll see Mrazek in goal tonight.
Thanks to the loser point the Pens earned on Sunday, their position is safe for now. They’re 3rd in the division and lead the Canes by 3 points with 2 more games played. They’re 6-2-2 in their last 10 games. Malkin is week to week with an upper body injury. Crosby is closing in on his first 100 point season since 2013-14; he has 92, 4th in the league. He’s 7th in assists with 59. Jake Guentzel has 36 goals. Matt Murray has started the last 2 in goal but was pulled on Saturday after allowing 4 goals on 13 shots. He bounced back with 36 saves on Sunday. He and Casey DeSmith have similar numbers, with a GAA around 2.80 and a .916 Save %. Their PP is 5th at 25.2%, the PK is 17th at 80.4%
