Why you should care: Coach John Hynes told beat writer Jonathan Bombulie that Steve MacIntyre would play a game this weekend. Since he hasn’t yet, expect him to go tonight. Why is this important? The last time MacIntyre played in a game, he did this. The Penguins will be looking for a lot of things separate from MacIntyre from this game. As in a goal, a win and looking to inch closer to a playoff spot for the Spring.
