Pens take on Panthers tonight.

After a successful road trip for the Pens, they don't get a break. The Pens go into tonight's game against the Panthers with the same amount as points as the Panthers and still battling for a playoff spot in a tight race. Therefore, this makes tonight another important game. It was less than a week ago that the Pens defeated the Panthers 4-1 and the game was one of the best 60-minute performances the Pens have put together. The Pens must execute the same kind of play tonight to get a win. The Panthers have a great record when leading after 2 periods, a 24-1-1 record for that matter, so it would be great if the Pens get a lead and keep it.
