Heavy playoff implications were on the line this evening when the Penguins traveled to Raleigh to face-off against the Carolina Hurricanes. Coming off two losses over the weekend, the Penguins were looking to get back on track and solidify their playoff positioning. Here’s how it all went down, starting with the lineups for both sides.
For the Penguins:
No Evgeni Malkin who is out week-to-week with an upper-body injury so Teddy Blueger slots in as the 2C. Kris Letang makes his much anticipated return to the lineup after an upper-body injury of his own three weeks ago.
