Penguins (26-14-4, 56 points) at Canadiens (24-16-3, 51 points)
Why does it matter?
The Pens are flailing right now. They need someone to step up and lead the way. The Habs will generally give them the chance to play a better style than we've seen against the Wild and Bruins.

What has been happening lately?
- Pens - Five losses in their past six games, including a heart breaker against the Bruins.
- Canadiens - With points in five straight games (4-0-1), the Habs are playing well right now.
- Last time the Pens allowed a comeback against the Bruins, they began their longest streak of good play of the season. Can they start another one?
- Geno? Are you there? We need you to score. This one is staying here until he steps up.
- Will the team be able to cut down on the dumb penalties? The high-sticking call on Matt Cooke stands out as one that really shouldn't have happened against the Bruins.
- Get someone in front of Price (or Auld). Sid was scoring tons of goals from the front of the net area, but no one seems to be camped there now.
- Play 60 minutes.
- Win the special teams battle. That means no dumb penalties. It also means finding a way to get the puck in the net on the power play.
