Both of these teams aren't playing well, and the Penguins are having to deal with the loss of Sidney Crosby. The Bruins are an odd team, they are actually better on the road (12-5-4) then they are at home (9-7-3), so there is some hope the Bruins can pull out this game.
In their only other meeting this season the Bruins were able to beat the Penguins, but even with Crosby out I think the Penguins are just going to have too much offense for the Bruins. Malkin has been very quiet of late, not scoring in each of the last two games, but he is usually deadly when Crosby is out (25 goals and 34 assists in 40 career games with Crosby sidelined).
Thomas could go out and shut them down, but I just don't have a good feeling about this game. Hopefully I am wrong.
Penguins win 5-2
Player of the Game: Malkin
Game starts at 7:30pm on Versus.
