Pittsburgh Penguins News & Notes:

Pittsburgh has one win in their last five games; getting a win against the San Jose Sharks, who are one of the bottom-feeding teams this season, would be a step in the right direction.

With an alleged ‘fire sale’ looming in Pittsburgh, Lars Eller was the first player traded away from the Pens this season. Who is next? Time will tell…

San Jose Sharks News & Notes:

Macklin Celebrini is set to face Sidney Crosby for the first time in his career. After returning from his injury, he’s played in five games and only tallied two assists.

Players To Watch:

Pittsburgh Penguins

Evgeni Malkin recently apologized for his play and has yet to right his game since. In his last three games, Malkin is a -8. If the Penguins have any hope of turning things around, Malkin needs to get out of his funk.

San Jose Sharks

Macklin Celebrini has 2 points in his last five games; can he victimize a struggling Penguins lineup to get some points on the board?
