Cue the cavalry music! I think that it is pretty appropriate when you consider how depleted the Penguins line-up has gotten... but that starts to change tonight in Ottawa.
Max Talbot and Sergei Gonchar will officially make their triumphant returns to the Penguins line-up. Unfortunately, as has been the case any time this team gets a little bit of good injury news, they might be without the services of Mark Eaton.
Eaton is experiencing back spasms and will be a game time decision in Ottawa. The Penguins have recalled defenseman Chris Lee, who will play if Eaton is unable to go.
Lee, 29, leads all WBS blueliners with seven points (1G-6A) through 15 games, and is third overall on the club with 41 shots.
Even though Eaton might be held out of the line-up, the team will receive a big boost from Talbot and Gonchar. Though Talbot is available, it is believed that Dan Bylsma will continue to keep the Two-Headed Monster together... I am sure we will see some line shuffling as the game goes on.
If any additional info becomes available, I will let you know! Stay tuned for more later...
