Pens Stay Hot

Despite another night without team leader, Sid Crosby, the Pens earned two more critical point by beating the Black Hawks in Chi Town last night. As the flightless pigeons desperately try to mount an epic spring surge, the new pieces are chipping in.

Newly acquired Chris Kunitz tallied a goal and a helper as the Pens won for the fourth time in five games. As a recurring theme, Geno Malkin once again comes up big when #87 is on the trainer's table, by scoring the deciding goal.

By my tally, the Pens probably need at least 25 points in the final 19 games to gain that 8th seed. Should they turn this swing into an all out surge, as history suggests they can, it wouldn't surprise me to see them slide all the way up to 6th.
