The Penguins take on the Florida Panthers tonight for the second time in six days at 7:38 on FSN, this time at Mellon Arena. The Penguins just finished the first 5-0-0 road trip in franchise history with a statement victory in Washington.
The Penguins need these two points to pass the Panthers.
Florida currently sits at 7th place with 76 points—the Penguins also have 76 points but Florida has a game in hand on the Penguins. With a regulation win, and a little help from Edmonton, the Penguins will sit at 5th in the division. If Philadelphia loses to Buffalo, the Penguins will be only two points behind them. When only 4 points separate 4th and 9th place, every point counts.
Florida will play without Rostislav Olesz, Bryan Allen, and Nathan Horton and Bryan McCabe. Jassen Cullimore may be out if he has to return to Florida for the birth of his child.
The Penguins are without Philippe Boucher and Mike Zigomanis and, unfortunately, Petr Sykora.
