The Penguins have a chance to get their first winning streak of the season when the Vancouver Canucks come to town! Hunter and Patrick begin the show getting you set for tonight’s game against the Canucks, and while they come to Pittsburgh pretty banged up, there are still plenty of playmakers that could give the Penguins fits, including their starting goaltender. Then, for Arturs Silovs, tonight’s game is a chance to get a little revenge on the team that traded him during the offseason. It’s also an opportunity for Silovs to start pulling away in the race for starting goaltender, but how can he make that happen? Finally, the Penguins did a lot of special teams work in practice, and a few players are looming as they work their way back from injury.
