It's the first game of the season for the Penguins captain and he'll be meeting a former Penguins captain in Jaromir Jagr tonight in Pittsburgh.

Florida, coming off a playoff appearance last season, is a trendy pick to go far this season with all the talent that they have. So far they have been living up to the expectations with a 3-1-1 record to start the season. However tonight will only be the second game that the Panthers are on the road for (0-0-1). The Panthers, like the Pens, have had a few days off, they haven't played since a 5-2 win over Colorado on Saturday.

Expected Florida lines

Jonathan Marchessault - Aleksander Barkov - Jaromir Jagr

Kyle Rau - Vincent Trocheck - Reilly Smith

Jared McCann - Denis Malgin - Colton Sceviour

Gregg McKegg - Derek MacKenzie - Shane Harper

Keith Yandle / Aaron Ekblad

Michael Matheson / Jason Demers

Alex Petrovic / Mark Pysyk

Expected Pittsburgh lines

Scott Wilson - Sidney Crosby - Patric Hornqvist

Chris Kunitz - Evgeni Malkin - Bryan Rust

Carl Hagelin - Nick Bonino - Phil Kessel

Tom Kuhnhackl - Matt Cullen - Eric Fehr

Brian Dumoulin / Trevor Daley

Ian Cole / Justin Schultz

Olli Maatta/ David Warsofsky

Florida is set to play backup James Reimer for his second start of the year (0-0-1). Reimer has had a surprisingly strong career against the Pens (considering he's coming from a mediocre Toronto team) with a career 4-0-2 record vs Pittsburgh with a strong .931 save % and 2.27 GAA and a shutout in his career.
