Game 54- Columbus Blue Jackets @ Penguins

The Pens will carry momentum into tonight's game against the Blue Jackets that built during the third period and overtime of a dramatic come from behind "W" against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday that saw Evgeni Malkin turn in one of the best individual performances in Penguins history, looking like Mario Lemieux as he did it.

The Jackets are an "up team" with a great young goalie in Steve Mason, and Rick Nash, Kristian Huselius, and Manny Malhotra manning a makeshift, yet successful top line.

Fedor Tyutin is solid as they come on the back end, but Mike Commodore is a disaster.

Mason, however, is out with an injury, so Wade Dubielwicz looks to be in goal vs. M.A. Fleury.
