Game #15 - at Phoenix Coyotes

Game 15

Penguins (6-7-1, 13 points) at Coyotes (4-5-3, 11 points)

Why does it matter?
The Pens need to stop the bleeding. Facing the Coyotes penalty kill could be the perfect thing to cauterize the wound.

What has been happening lately?

• Pens - A great effort with nothing to show for it last night in Anaheim.
• Coyotes - The Coyotes have been really inconsistent so far. Two wins in their past four games is the best stretch of the season to this point.

Questions to be answered

• Can the Pens keep the intensity and work ethic for the entire game? The Coyotes have played really well against the Pens the last few years.
• Who will be in goal? I didn't think Fleury played poorly last night.
• The Coyotes PK allowed four goals last night. Can the Pens take advantage the same way?

Keys to the game

• The Coyotes are usually outshot and have fewer chances on the power play. That's a recipe for disaster.
• Yandle and Morris, two of the Coyotes top D, have been pretty bad. Yandle is a -7 and Morris is a -6.
• Have Geno keep shooting. He had 5 last night, but only 8 total in the three games prior to that. If he's playing the point on the power play, get him set for the one-timer and let it rip.
