Game-day skate update--Jan. 10
The Penguins held a full game-day skate at Rexall Place, following an optional skate for tonight's opponent, the Edmonton Oilers. Both goalies and 15 skaters were on the ice for Edmonton.
No one was miss from the Penguins skate, and there didn't appear to be any changes in how personnel was used. Deryk Engelland remains at winger rather than defense, except when penalty-killing.
The lines:
Chris Kunitz-Sidney Crosby-Brian Gibbons
Jussi Jokinen-Evgeni Malkin-James Neal
Tanner Glass-Brandon Sutter-Taylor Pyatt
Craig Adams-Joe Vitale-Deryk Engelland.
