Fast Tube by Casper
Thanksgiving has come and gone and here is another issue of my weekly round up. I will have to admit with the holiday weekend, I have slipped a bit but here we go with some things that you have may of missed as you turned to football for the weekend or just simply slept your turkey dinner away.
Who is in, who is out?
Out for the next two games would be the Penguins Matt Cooke. Once again we see a cheap shot and the NHL has responded properly by issuing Cooke a 2 game suspension for a high hit to the head on the Rangers Artem Anisimov.

Bruins fans will be thrilled if the results of Tuesday nights 3-0 win repeats itself but the reality is that something has to give for the slumping Penquins. Losers of their last four, the Pens have mustered just one goal in 3 of them combined including being shut out by the Bruins just 4 days ago; in fact the Penquins have only scored 7 goals in their 5 games played in November. The Penquins are hoping for that to change as Evgeni Malkin is expected to return to the line up tonight. Just as the Pens get back Malkin they lose Chris Kunitz for the next two weeks with a lower body injury.
Something had to give tonight in Pittsburgh as the Pens were on a 4 game losing streak and the New Jersey Devils were riding a 6 game win streak but more importantly an 8 game road win streak.
The New Jersey Devils are perfect on the road at 8-0 and are trying to catch Buffalo’s record of 10-0 set in the 2006-07 season. Tonight they will try to get one win closer as they visit the Stanley Cup Champs. The Devils are also riding a 6 game winning streak and 9-1 in the last 10 go into Pittsburgh tied for first in the Atlantic with 24 pts.
