Pittsburgh Penguins Notes:

The Penguins have been playing fast and loose to start the season, allowing over four goals a game (4.22) and scoring three goals a game (3.00). Defensively, Pittsburgh is one of the worst teams in hockey right now but have the talent on the backend to turn it around.

Vancouver Canucks Notes:

The Canucks have won three in a row, all on the road as they finally return home. The Vancouver power play has been good to start the year, humming along at a 26.3% clip.
