The Pittsburgh Penguins knocked out the Minnesota Wild last night by a score of 4-2 with James Neal leading the way again. Neal has been the one bright spot for the Penguins this year. This guy was a go to player when he was in Dallas and it looks like he is finally coming into his own in Pittsburgh. The guy is huge and if you combine that with his quick hands, Neal has the tools to have a breakout season for his team.
The Pens keep marching on without Malkin and Crosby. Crosby could return after the game with the Habs. Neal and Crosby on the same line could be very explosive for the Penguins. We are not worried about Pittsburgh long term. Crosby's return should lift the entire squad and put the team back on track. The Pittsburgh squad has the experience of several strong veterans and we think they will survive the slow start to challenge in their division.
