Penguins Game 34, Big Name Busts; Lines, Notes vs. Predators

NASHVILLE — This story originally appeared on pittsburghhockeynow.com

The teams will face off in the city that has both kinds of music, Country and Western, at Bridgestone Arena.

The puck drops just after 8 p.m. EST.

The Penguins have won seven of their last ten games and scored points in eight of their last ten. This surge has erased an early-season swoon that had them mired near the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
