8:30 pm/et

TV: NHL Network

United Center

Preseason Series: 1-0-0

Last Meeting: September 22, 2011. Penguins won 4-1 [Preseason]

What we said in our recap:

Not much to say about the game except that the Pens won, 4-1, and Jordan Staal scored two goals in the same game. Cooke scored a goal. Kennedy scored a goal. The first two periods of this game rivaled a Rush concert as the most uneventful occurrence in the history of CONSOL Energy Center. Then shit started happening.

It's starting to feel like actual hockey now. The actual season is less than a week away. It's time to burn it down!
