Gameday 46: Blackhawks at Pens.

Consol Energy Center.

8 pm.

TV: NBCSN

Radio: 105.9 The X

These two bitter rivals square off for NBC's latest edition of Wednesday Night Rivalry. Since these guys played such a heated Stanley Cup Final in 1992 and the big Stadium Series rivalry, we all understand why this is the Wednesday Night Rivalry match. The Penguins are coming off of an OTL and are 0-2-1 in their last 3. The Blackhawks come in after a 6-1 win over the Coyotes last night. This is the Penguins last game before the All-Star break and we think it couldn't come at a better time. For the Pens, Derrick Pouliot was called up today for Beautiful Bobby Farnham and Kris Letang will be a game-time decision. We assume Corey Crawford will start for Chicago and Marc-Andre Fleury will go for the Pens. We are pretty excited to see that Blackhawks in town. Be prepared for 498328432 mentions of a potential cup final between these teams.
