Forwards Pavel Datsyuk and Kris Draper could both potentially be back in the lineup for Detroit. Datsyuk will have a much more noticeable impact than Draper, even though it's not likely to be on the score sheet. Before being sidelined during the Western Conference Finals, Datsyuk had been very quiet offensively. He'll be charged with the daunting task of containing Evgeni Malkin, whose 33 playoff points are more any other player since Joe Sakic in 1996.
Marc-Andre Fleury will need to more or less replicate his performance in Game 3. Chris Osgood has to be better on the other side, or this thing will go back to Mo-Town all evened up.

Not a fan of a Datsyuk return. Hopefully he's still banged up and his performance shows it.
That's where we are. The game is on the line, what are we going to do? Do we kick the field goal to tie or go for the touchdown? I know, speaking football terms gets you confused in a Penguin post, but for some of you, that's what you need to get in the spirit of things. Tonight is a huge game that could change the face of the Penguins for years to come. Instead of the almost Pens, we would be the can do Pens. In other words, it is time for every fan in Steeler Nation to support the Pens tonight. It is time to come together and show what a city Pittsburgh is.
