According to PSI,
Marian Hossa will make his debut in black and gold featured on the second line with Ryan Malone and Jordan Staal.

Feisty winger Pascal Dupuis will play on the top line with Evgeni Malkin and Petr Sykora.

Talbot, Taffe and Kennedy will bring a ton of energy to the third line and Chris Minard will center Georges Laraque and Jarkko Ruutu on the 4th line.

It was originally reported that Marc-Andre Fleury would return to the net, but the Post-Gazette reported this morning that Michel Therrien will continue to ride Ty Conklin in goal.

    Jesse, did Dupuis play on a line with Hossa? If so, wouldn’t it be better to play them together and let Malone on the first line?

    According to the Pens website, THE ANSWER (Conklin) will be starting against the Bruins tonight. Figured I’d throw that in there for you…

    Dabich – Dupuis and Hossa never played together regularly with the exception of the occasional Penalty Kill. I was surprised to see Dupuis on the top line.

    Dan – Things changed after the morning skate today. I just made the update. Thanks for the heads up!
