Media Kit

Last Game: Tuesday night at home, the Penguins extended their season when Simon Despres scored in double overtime. For the IceCaps, G Eddie Pasquale made 42 saves.

What to Watch For: The Penguins are going to need to continue to replicate the results of the last five games and hope that bounces go their way extending this series one more game to a seventh, where all bets are off. Don’t expect any lineup changes unless Brian Strait is ready to go. Expect another tight checking game as well.
