The two most potent offenses in the NHL go head to head for the first of three meetings this season Sunday night. The Penguins will be playing without one of their two superstars in Evgeni Malkin, who is out for the time being with concussion symptoms.
A win tonight would give the Lightning their first three game road winning streak since the end of the 2010-11 season, a very long time.
The Penguins are led in goals by James Neal with 12, tied for Stamkos with the lead league. Crosby leads in points with 25, one behind Stamkos who has 26.
Despite a 12-6 record, the Penguins are a mere .500 team at home with a 4-4 record.
Marc Andre Fleury will likely get the start for the Pens. He has a 9-3 record this year with a 2.22 GAA
