Preason Game 2 - Blackhawk vs. Penguins

7:00 P.M.
ROOT Sports and NHL Network
We assume the game will be on 105.9 FM for radio listeners, or if you get sick of Steigy.

It's a Hockey Night in Pittsburgh!  

The Pens come into tonight's game with a 1-0 preseason record, which means absolutely nothing.  The team looked good last night against Detroit and looks to continue improving tonight.

The following are dressing for the Pens (from Empty Netters):

Forwards:
Mark Letestu, Jordan Staal, Jason Williams, Matt Cooke, Eric Tangradi, Craig Adams, Nick Johnson, Steve MacIntyre, Keven Veilleux, Tyler Kennedy, Zach Sill, Bryan Lerg

Defensemen
Zbynek Michalek, Deryk Engelland, Ben Lovejoy, Brian Strait, Alexandre Picard, Scott Harrington

Goalies
Brent Johnson, Scott Munroe

Names to watch include Tangradi, Johnson, Veilleux, Williams, Engelland, Lovejoy, and Picard.
We have no idea on lines other than Brent Johnson will probably start.  We also assume lines will change during the game, since it is preseason.
 
Steve Sullivan is out with a groin injury, and Simon Despres was sent to WBS

Dressing for Chicago:

Forwards
Daniel Carcillo, Brett McLean, Bryan Bickell, Brandon Pirri, Brandon Saad, Christopher DiDomenico, Brandon Bollig, Bryon Frose, Rob Klinkhammer, Andrew Shaw, Michael Frolik, Peter Leblanc

Defensemen
Sean O'Donnell, Nick Leddy, John Scott, Shawn Lalonde, Joe Lavin, Brian Connelly

Goalies
Ray Emery, Alexander Salak

Chicago is apparently icing an AHL team tonight.  No clue who these dudes are.

Quick thoughts:
-Good to see Staal healthy 
-Munroe is probably going to be WBS backup goalie
-Some roster cuts were made today

Go Pens
