The Pittsburgh Penguins face their toughest test yet on Thursday night when the Colorado Avalanche come to town. Before Hunter and Pat preview that game, they discuss some of the latest on injuries, especially Alex Nedeljkovic. How big of a deal is this injury to the Penguins? How often will Magnus Hellberg play now that he's the backup? They look into that, plus what the Vinnie Hinostroza callup means before previewing the matchup against the Avs. They discuss how the Avs are lighting it up this season and how the Penguins can slow down their attack. Do they have to play more conservatively? What changes to the system should HCMS make? Finally, they get into some comments made by Kyle Dubas during the GM show.
