Wednesday is a second straight day off for the Pittsburgh Penguins as they prepare to host the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night at PPG Paints Arena. This will mark the final home game before the Christmas break which runs from December 24-26 and includes a roster freeze. The Penguins final game before the break is on the road against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday evening.

Penguins fans wanted to see Marc-Andre Fleury on Tuesday night but he did not get the start for Minnesota and it may have been Fleury’s call not to be in net.
