For the Falcons...
The Falcons are loaded up front with NHL talent at the forward position, along with talented young players such as JAM, Atkinson, Johansen and Calvert. They have rode the hot glove in Curtis McElhinney as he has got the start in net in all but one game this season.
For the Penguins...
Keven Veilleux should be making his long awaited season debut with the Pens tonight. After a nearly 14 month layoff from hockey, Veilleux has the potential to be a difference maker for this team. The big IF is obviously his ability to stay healthy the rest of this year.
