Leafs in Town, Talbot Gets Extension
Saturday, December 20th, 2008
The Leafs are in town tonight to take on the Pens at 7PM. The Leafs sit in 11th place in the east, 8 points behind the Pens with a 12-13-6 record. They have won 3 of their last 4 games. Goaltending has been a bit shaky for the Leafs so no word on who will get the start tonight, Joseph or Toskala. The last time the Leafs played the Pens they lost 4-1, it was the game were Crosby scored his 100th career goal, 200th career assist and 300th point.
The Pens are coming off a 6-3 win in Atlanta on Thursday night. The Leafs should be a bit more of a challenge to the Pens then the Thrashers were, it will be a good game for sure. As expected Fluery will get the start tonight. Talbot will be back in the lineup tonight, Dupuis and Ziggomanis are still out. The Pens will be wearing their powder blue jerseys tonight, Go Pens!
