Battle for two important points tonight.

The Florida Panthers, the Pens' opponent for tonight's game, currently sit two points and one spot ahead of us in the Eastern Conference. The Panthers are in 6th place, while the Pens are tied for 7th. The Pens would love to claim two points tonight and move into a tie with the Panthers. However, the Panthers would love to claim the two points and make the Pens recent move up the standings start descending down again. This is an important game tonight and also because we will see what the expected first line of Crosby along with Kunitz and Guerin can do. This should be an exciting game and it is an important one.
