Sorry that this is late, but I’ve been getting ready for a trip to New York this weekend.
What to watch for in tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Kings:
- Jon Quick – Quick is off to a 9-3-2 start, and has appropriately helped the Kings off to a quick start in the West. A lot of people thought that they would make noise in the Pacific this year, and they have certainly proven that they can do that.
- Anze Kopitar – Kopitar is the league leading scorer, and has found instant chemistry with Ryan Smyth.
- Ryan Smyth – The Kings Power Play is deadly, and Smyth’s ability to touch twine is a large reason why.
- Kris Letang – Coming off of his first goal of the season, how will he move forward as a part of the Penguins’ offense?
- Jordan Staal – Staal hasn’t scored in 9 games, and he is certainly due to make some noise.
- Rob Scuderi – Scuds was “The Piece” of the Penguins Stanley Cup Championship team. The familiar face will play the Pens for the first time since signing with the Kings in free agency.
