Pens Points Friday: New Jersey, New Jerseys

Is today Jagr's last game in Pittsburgh? Maybe, maybe not. Jagr says he's not thinking about retirement, and he's pretty sure he'll play hockey somewhere in 2014-15. If not in the NHL, then in the Czech Republic. [Fire & Ice]

Last one or not, today is a great day to appreciate 68. [Trib - DK]

He only has 6 healthy defensemen, but Pete DeBoer will look to frustrate the Pens yet again. He does it probably better than anyone [Star Ledger]

Jagr, on the Pens: "We know how they play. We know what to do." They most certainly do know how to frustrate us to no end. [NJ Devils - video]

Your Devils game preview, plus a reminder that the new Stadium Series jerseys will be unveiled today at 2 pm. [HockeyBuzz]

No concussion tests yet for Brooks Orpik. [PPG]

Penguins await the Thornton decision. His hearing is today at 1 pm in NYC. [PPG]

Despite the revolving door on the 3rd line, Brandon Sutter is thriving. [Trib - Yohe]

We watched him shine in WJC 2013. Alex Galchenyuk is very much on Team USA's radar for Sochi. [NHL]

Another Flyers' goalie fight. This time it's Mason vs. Gionta, Gallagher. [SBN]

More news and thoughts on teams bouncing back from tough losses, the Red Wings and their slump, and the peloton thinning in the West. [ESPN Puck Central]

It's Christmas season, so here's a list of what seemed like surefire gifts for hockey fans that ended in huge disappointments. [Grantland]

I'm feeling like Christmas morning because I just saw this tweet from Dan Potash: Brooks Orpik has taken the ice before the Pens morning skate!

In addition to Scuderi and Glass....Brooks Orpik is on the ice this morning. -DP pic.twitter.com/qXsaSwSJ5H
