I'll take the owner to be named at a later date.

Okay. I did really laugh at this....

Thoughts and prayers......

Too early to make the call? SUPERB OWL!

Auston Matthews won't be facing the Carolina Hurricanes Thursday night. He was suspended by the league following a net-front cross checking duel with Rasmus Dahlin of the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres won the game 5-2.

FIFY

I think there were a few ahead of DW who get that nod.

Yes sir. The Pens don't play until tomorrow (Tuesday night). There's no reason the Canes needed to be scheduled to start a game 20 hours from the time they left the ice. They could have easily scheduled the game for last night and pushed it out to 28 hours or so.

Would not have pulled Raanta the first time, let alone after. I think they had a better chance at tying 5 on 5.

You can see they're tired and, after the first 10 minutes of adrenalin, there's not much left in the tank.

Nobody but Slavin left in front of the net. Everyone else looking for the clear, weak, late in the period goal.

Who in their right mind thinks less than 24 hours between games is a good idea? WTF, NHL? As a result of this scheduling joke, the Pens are favored today. Looks like Raanta in net today while the rest of the lineup remains intact from yesterday. Last Time Out: A tight, grind-it-out-type game between the Canes and Flyers was decided with 3:50 to go in regulation, when Jordan Martinook tipped home the game-winning goal. Derek Stepan earned his 500th career point in his 800th NHL game in the affair, while Frederik Andersen made 28 saves in his return from injury. In The Crease: With Andersen having started yesterday, it would make sense for Antti Raanta to be the projected starter today. Raanta has started and won both of his team's games against the Penguins this season. Making 31 and 24 stops respectively, the 32-year-old earned his 100th NHL victory in the first outing, which came in Pittsburgh. In the more recent outing, Raanta shut the door over the final 49:21, turning away all 14 stops faced during that stretch. At Home On The Road: The Canes 18 (18-8-3) wins away from PNC Arena this season ranked tied for second in the NHL. Only Pittsburgh has more with their 19.

3rd period strength.

Oh well, spoke too soon. 1-1.

No goal, good call and it stood. That's a rarity this season.

Stepan gets his 500th career point on a beautiful pass to Lorentz.

Andersen is expected in net today, although he is still listed as day-to-day. Raanta wouldn't surprise me, given the Canes are going to Pittsburgh after the game tonite and Pittsburgh is a more important game of the 2 this weekend. This is definitely a trap game. Huge win Thursday night, emotional win. Then into a back-to-back less than 24 hours apart and Pittsburgh is only 6 points behind us.

His trade value just went thru the roof. You all saw what the Seahawks got for Wilson.... double that.

Detroit just matches up well against the Canes. They gave Carolina fits last year, too.

In other news, Ned swatted one thru his own 5-hole while trying to play a dump in. Mrazek got chased after Arizona lit him up last night.

Yep. Emergency recall rules say he has to dress as backup or be sent back to Chicago before the game.

Yep.

Got his bell rung against Washington. Collision with Tom Wilson. Anderson skated this morning, but he's not 100%.

Shots are 12-2 in the 1st 10 minutes.

Canes are starting on fire. Lot of time in the offensive zone while the Avs are dumping and chasing and can't retrieve.
