Morning Skate: Playoff Edition (5/26)

Photobucket
Game of the Night:
4) Pittsburgh Penguins @ 6) Carolina Hurricanes

Game 4, 7:30 ET… TV: VERSUS, CBC, Local Networks
Penguins lead series, 3-0

Players to watch:
PIT- Evgeni Malkin

‘Geno has 6 straight games with 2 or more points… will that continue?
CAR- Eric Staal
With the ‘Canes facing elimination, Staal must step up and deliver to live another day.

Starting Goaltenders:
PIT- Marc-Andre Fleury
(Playoff stats: 11-5, 2.71 GAA)
CAR- Cam Ward (08-09 stats: 8-9, 2.65 GAA)

Injury Report:
PIT-
Mike Zigomanis (undisclosed, out)
CAR- Tim Conboy (shoulder, doubtful)

Game Thoughts:
It’s going to be interesting to see how Carolina comes out. Will they go all out with their backs against the wall?? Or will they ultimately run out of gas and get swept on home-ice?? I’m going to be at RBC tonight, and hopefully the atmosphere isn’t dampened with the ‘Canes down 3-0. In the end, I just cannot see the Pens losing right now… the offense has been way too much for Paul Maurice & company to handle.

Prediction: Penguins 4, Hurricanes 3 (OT)
