Penguins to face tough test against reigning Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers

The Penguins are riding a 3-game winning streak going into Tuesday's home game against the Florida Panthers. The Penguins have beaten the Canucks, Bruins, and Flames on this win streak but their next opponent is going to be a tough one.

The Penguins will not run into old friend Sergei Bobrosky in Tuesday's game because his family is expecting a new addition. So the Penguins will be facing a backup goaltender and really need to take advantage of it since Bobrovsky has been really good the past few seasons.

The Penguins need to get off to a good start again and play quick

The Penguins need to find a way to forecheck quickly, get to the net, screen the goalie, and put some pucks in the net first. They need to get the first goal. Scoring first against a really good team is vital to finding a way to win.

The first line of Rakell-Crosby-Rust has been cooking lately and so has O'Connor-Malkin-Tomasino has also been a seriously good line. These lines are usually the ones that drive the majority of the offense for the team and maybe one of the six players can score the first goal.

Jarry needs to continue playing good in goal

Tristan Jarry has found his game recently and has won 2 games in a row and he needs to continue that going into Tuesday's game. He faces another tough opponent, but his last two games were against the Canucks and Bruins

It would go a long way for the Penguins if Jarry can have another good game and help lead his team to a fourth straight victory. It would go a long way for the team and for his own self-confidence.

The Penguins hope that his AHL stint did him good down in Wilkes-Barre and that it can continue to translate back at the NHL level.
