Hopefully, the Pens can get some guys healthy soon. I still think they can win the Eastern Conference and contend for the Cup, but it will take getting all of their regulars back from injury, well, except Malkin I guess. When you consider that Staal was hurt to start the year, they really haven't had their entire team together for any stretch this year at all. If they continue to tank and slide to say, sixth or seventh in the conference, but then get everybody back come playoff time, this would be the last team in the world I'd want to face in the opening round of the playoffs.
Apparently Letestu and Kunitz will be back very soon. They should have no problem making the playoffs with the team they have now. The teams below the Capitals are not exactly lighting things up. Would be nice to see Crosby recover soon.
