Meanwhile the Pens will be back at PPG Paints Arena trying to shake a three-game losing streak with a matinee match up against the Washington Capitals.
The Pens have had the Caps number in recent years. Since the 2015-16 campaign, no team has beaten the Caps more than the Pens have with 18 wins for the Black and Gold in that time span. The Pens are on the verge of clinching a playoff berth, which would make their 16th consecutive playoff appearance.
Some milestones could be hit in this game or the next few. Evgeni Malkin is one assist shy of hitting the 700 assist mark, and Sidney Crosby is three points away from his 1400th career point.
You can hear the game on U-92.5 FM and the U-92.5 Sports Channel at 2:00 PM.
