Pens Host Wild Tonight
November 18, 2008 – 3:09 pm | by Bob Buskirk
The Pens will play the Minnesota Wild tonight at Mellon Area at 7PM. The Wild have a pretty good season going with a 15-10-4 record which puts them in 2nd place in the Northwest division and 5th in the west. The Wild has a good group of scorers and their penalty kill is the best in the league. Overall the penguins have a 5-2-1 record against the Wild.
The pens are coming off another win to have their best start since the 1995-96 season. Seems like they are getting better in the third period. As we reported yesterday Fluery has an undisclosed injury so Sabu is going to get the start tonight. No word on what Fluery’s injury is but it’s keeping him on the shelf so the pens have recalled goaltender John Curry of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Tonight’s game is on Versus…which means you have to sit through another horrible broadcast of a pens game. These Versus games are coming to close together! Go Pens!
