Series: Charlotte leads 3-1 (best of seven)

Media Kit

Last Game: Wednesday night in Charlotte Chris Terry scored a power play goal at the beginning of the third period and it held up as the game winner as the Pens would go on to lose 1-0. Checkers goaltender Mike Murphy made 44 saves for the shutout.

What to watch for: If you don’t score, you don’t win. Pens simply need to do better than scoring 1 goal the entire week in North Carolina as Chris Collins’ marker back on Monday in Game 3 was the Penguins only goal. One goal may not be enough. Charlotte will be looking to push the Pens to an early summer with an elimination win tonight. They have cowbells for the first 2,000 walking in the Time Warner Cable Arena tonight and many are expected from Raleigh, North Carolina home of the parent Carolina Hurricanes. This series has been dead even in every area except the goals department. Pens just need to score.
