Hey guys. Welcome to Double Shot of Penguins here on DK. Pittsburgh Sports.

My name is Chris Halleck.

Joining me from Raleigh, North Carolina, the place where the penguins will take on the hurricanes tonight, DK, what's going on, man?

What's going on?

Second place versus first place tonight.

Here at what they're now calling the Lenovo Center, used to be PNC Arena.

And it's going to be a chore. It's going to be a chore.

It's going to be a challenge.

We can say this in advance because the hurricanes are doing everything at full throttle,

like they always do in the regular season, if you want to be cynical about it.

They don't necessarily do that in the playoffs.

And the penguins are not going to be anywhere near full strength.

In addition to still not having Sidney Crosby, no change in his status.

Yvgeny Malkin is obviously still suspended.

Justin Brzo was moved from the day-to-day category to the week-to-week category,

which isn't great.

Yeah.

That just happened today.

And Sam Gerard is also out with an injury.

I'm not to wish an injury upon anybody.

I don't think that last one hurts all that much.

I don't think he's been very good that much. He's been very good at all
