This screams letdown game for the Penguins even with Sidney Crosby's return; he has been out since the Olympics, and I still think Canada wins gold if he was available for that game. Would rather beat the best. End of a five-game trip for Pittsburgh and off one of the most shocking wins of any team this season: 7-2 in Denver on Monday. If the Pens can beat the Avs and then the Hurricanes, maybe the league's two best teams, on the road in back-to-back outings, well then major kudos. It is Carolina's only home game in a span of about three weeks and it could largely put away the Metro Division with a regulation win.
