The Pens are in New Jersey tonight to take on the Devils at 7:00. The Pens will try to improve on their power play that has been struggling for most of the games they have played this season.
The Pens won the last meeting against New Jersey 4-1 with the help of Crosby's hat trick and 4 point night. The Pens will have to battle hard again and try to break the Devil's tough style of play.

John Curry was sent down to the Baby Pens and we are already aware that Janne Pesonen was sent down as well.

Jeff Taffe was placed on waivers and Kris Beech was placed on unconditional waivers. It has been reported recently in the past weeks that Beech has an interest in playing in Europe.

Sykora is expected to miss Saturday's game, according to coach Michel Therrien.

Is it time for Stone and Filewich to make the Big Club?

There aren't that many spots on the team and training camp will be a deciding factor for many players. Will it be the Baby Pens or the Pens? Ryan Stone and Jonathan Filewich are going to be monitored closely on how well they perform in camp. The team is interested to see how well they perform. A spot could be theirs to make or break. Other players the team will be looking at closely could be, Jeff Taffe, Kris Beech, Bill Thomas, Janne Pesonen, Dustin Jeffery, and Chris Minard. It will be interesting to see how well camp goes for this group of players and who will make the Pens starting roster!
