You have to hand it to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Despite all their injuries to start the season they have held their own, going 3-2-1-1, and things are about to get better. Both Sydney Crosby and Jeff Carter skated in yesterday’s practice and could make their return to the ice tonight when the Penguins host the New Jersey Devils. New Jersey (3-2-0-0) will be playing their first road game of the season and have not fared well against Pittsburgh. The Devils are 0-5 in the last 5 meetings, 1-4 in their last 5 trips to PPG Paints Arena, and the favorite is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings between these two clubs.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
