   The Penguins are coming off a 4-2 tough loss to the Carolina Hurricanes as they played the first game of a home and home series at Consol Energy Center. Tonight, they are in Raleigh, North Carolina for game two. The Penguins were badly outshot 35-22, outplayed and out officiated last night. In addition, Marcel Goc injured his foot blocking a shot in the first period. Andrew Ebbett was recalled today to provide some depth (lol) with Goc going to be out for a game or so. Johnston didn't sound too concerned about Goc's foot injury, however injury woes are turning the Pens bottom six into a soft pile of dog crap, AKA what it was was last year. Either way, the Pens look to rebound against the Hurricanes in the second game of a home and home.

What to watch for:

• Rutherford homecoming in Carolina
• Andrew Ebbett recalled from WBS replacing Goc
• Someone else probably gets hurt tonight
• Penguins to probably not get any powerplays
• Jeremy Roenick still has not won a Stanley Cup
• Stuff

Don't suck tonight. Let's do it. Go Pens.
