Game 66: Guerin to miss third straight game; Fleury to start in goal

Boston Bruins (29-23-11-69 pts) @ Pittsburgh Penguins (39-22-4-82 pts)

A few Penguins pregame notes as the team looks to make it four straight coming out of the Olympic break.

*Winger Bill Guerin will miss his third straight game with back spasms. Guerin is regarded as day-to-day but will not participate in warmups and try to play.

*Goaltender Marc Andre Fleury will make his third straight start and appear in back-to-back games I’m told. This morning there was speculation that Fleury’s former backup Dany Sabourin would start in goal for Boston but it has been confirmed to me that Tim Thomas will get the start.

Kunitz – Crosby – Dupuis

Ponikarovsky – Malkin – Fedotenko

Cooke – Staal – Kennedy

Rupp – Adams – Talbot

Eaton – Gonchar

Orpik – Letang

Goligoski – Leopold
