PREGAME: Pens vs. Bruins

Consol Energy Center. 8:00. NBCSN. 105.9 The X.

Tonight the Penguins (8-4-0) take on the Boston Bruins (7-3-0) at home, the first meeting of the regular season since the Bruins swept the Pens in the Eastern Conference Final. The Bruins are coming into this game with a perfect 4-0-0 road record, but were just handed a loss by the New Jersey Devils in their last game on Saturday. The Penguins bounced back from a 3-game losing streak on Monday with a win over the Carolina Hurricanes.

Tonight will also be "Hockey Fights Cancer" night at CEC and the purple pregame warm up jerseys that the Pens will be wearing will be autographed and auctioned off on NHL.com. The proceeds from the jerseys will go towards the Mario Lemieux Foundation and the UPMC CancerCenter Patient Assistance Fund.

And something something, Jarome Iginla returns to Pittsburgh, something something OMG, HE'S ON RIGHT WING! Something something Dan Bylsma something.
