Tampa Bay (7-7-1) at Pittsburgh (7-4-1) 7:30 pm EST
PITTSBURGH (Ticker) - After a disappointing end to a four-game
road trip, the surprising Pittsburgh Penguins return home.
Pittsburgh recorded two victories to start their recent trip,
but finished it with two losses. Still off to a solid start,
the Penguins return home on Wednesday to face the Tampa Bay
Lightning.
Pittsburgh became another victim of the Anaheim Ducks, 3-2, in
overtime on Monday, as the Ducks remained the only team in the
league not to lose in regulation.
Dominic Moore and Chris Thorburn scored for the Penguins, who
went a second straight game without a goal from Evgeni Malkin.
However, Malkin did assist on Thorburn's tally.
The Lightning come off a 5-1 victory over the New York Islanders
on Monday. Filip Kuba led the Lighting with two goals while
Martin St. Louis and Andreas Karlsson each had a goal and an
assist.
Johan Holmqvist made 25 saves and the Lightning converted on
3-of-5 power-play opportunities.
