Game 66-Penguins @ Florida Panthers

The Penguins take on the Florida Panthers tonight at 7:38 on FSN.

Here's the deal: this is a must-win for the Penguins.

The Florida Panthers currently sit at 6th place with 74 points. With a regulation win, the Penguins can tie it up, though the Panthers have played one less game. Buffalo, who won last night against Montreal is nipping at the Penguins' heels with 71 points.

Yesterday both Florida and Pittsburgh added some firepower to their rosters.
The Penguins acquired veteren Bill Guerin from the New York Islanders and claimed right wing Craig Adams off waivers from Chicago. The underwhemling Miroslav Satan cleared waivers and is now assigned to the AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Baby Penguins.
The Panthers grabbed defenseman Steve Eminger from just down the road in Tampa Bay. They kept veteren defenseman, and unresricted free agent this summer, Jay Bouwmeester, hoping to complete their first post-season run in a long time.

The Penguins recalled Alex Goligoski from WB/S as Sergei Gonchar has returned home to be with his wife who is soon to give birth to the couple's second child.

Florida will play without Rostislav Olesz, Bryan Allen, David Booth.

The Penguins are without Philippe Boucher and Mike Zigomanis.

Center Sidney Crosby will return to bolster the lineup after missing four straight games. Hopefully this time around, he is fully healthy for his return. He'll be on a line with new acquisitions Chris Kunitz and Bill Guerin.
