Penguins (14-8-2, 30 points) at Flames (9-11-2, 20 points)
Why does it matter?
The Flames are another team that has been pretty bad so far this season. Since a 6-3 start, they are 3-8-2. The Pens have another golden chance at two points against what looks to be an inferior opponent. Make hay while the sun shines - the schedule won't be as favorable later in the season.

What has been happening lately?
- Pens - 8-1-1 in their past 9 games. Yesterday saw a nice win over the Sens, with some great goaltending all around.
- Flames - Just three wins in the month of November, but one of those was yesterday in Philly. Beating the Flyers was something we can be thankful for to the Flames.
- Does Johnson play today?
- How can the Flames be this bad? They have a great goaltender and lots of offense in their lineup.
- Can we keep Olli bottled up? He always seems to play well against the Pens, and he's struggling so far this year.
- Draw penalties and get onto the power play. That's the best recipe for beating Kiprusoff, and the PK of the Flames can be had.
- Match up well. The Flames can load up a top line better than most opponents, with Iginla leading the way. Expect a healthy dose of Michalek against Iginla.
- Let Iginla sleep. He has had a slow start to the season. Don't provoke him.
