Television broadcast on TSN or try ChannelSurfing.net for a feed
Try to listen live on WXDX.com (if available)

For the Toronto perspective, and to harass some Leafs fans, check out Pension Plan Puppets

NOTES

Still no word on Sergei Gonchar, although speculation across the media believes it to be a separated shoulder.  Official diagnosis from team docs is pending.

If you are tuning into a radio feed or watching the game on TSN, keep an eye/ear on Will Thomas tonight.  He survived the cut and is making a real push for the team.  The Tribune-Review published an article on him in today's paper.  The Fox Chapel native may eventually fit the bill of the hometown hero a la the likes of his predecessor Ryan Malone.  The Penguins signed Thomas back in July (Pensburgh coverage here).

For those in the Pittsburgh region, PittsburghPenguins.com is offering a live feed of the game.  Those crazy, if not stupid broadcast regulations will only make it available to Pitt residents (IP blocking I suppose).  UPDATE - PPP from Pension Plan Puppets suggested a Proxy server to view the games.  Give it a shot. 

Sidney Crosby will sit tonight with a sore groin.  Rest of the lineup after the jump.

Take a look at that blue line tonight.  Chances are we may be seeing this one for the start of the season.
