The Penguins can officially clinch a spot in the playoffs with a win today, a lot of motivation for the boys to go out and get the job done. Florida is trying to get back in the post-season for the first time in eight years, and they're currently on the wrong side of the cutoff, down two points to the 8th place NY Rangers.

Per the Penguins website, Florida's forward lines are expected to be:

Zednik-Horton-Booth
Stillman-Weiss-Dvorak
Peltonen-Campbell-Olesz
Kreps-McLean-Frolik

--One point for Sidney Crosby today gives him 100 on the season.

--Tomas Vokoun is starting for the Panthers in goal, it's still unknown at the moment if the Penguins are going to go back to Marc-Andre Fleury or if they'll give him the rare day off in favor of Mathieu Garon.

Also, with a Pens game and IndyCar race happening, it’s safe to say my Geography paper shall be done sometime around the AM. It’d be worse if I picked up WrestleMania 25 coverage as well ;)
