The Pittsburgh Penguins are currently on a two-game win streak and are coming off of a huge win on the road against the Tampa Bay Lightning this past Thursday night. They have been winning games without key contributors in the lineup, but the Penguins are about to get some help back before a huge game against the Dallas Stars.

Judging by the latest lines at practice, it looks like the Penguins will be getting forwards Justin Brazeau and Noel Acciari back in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Stars. That is a huge boost as Brazeau was doing really well on the second line with Anthony Mantha and Evgeni Malkin and that trio was one of the best in the league.

And Noel Acciari was playing with Blake Lizotte and Connor Dewar and had formed one of the best fourth lines in the league. Getting these guys back is going to be a major boost for the Penguins as they currently sit third in the Metropolitan Division and getting these guys back will really help them continue to win games.

Getting their injured guys back should help the Penguins chances against the Stars

The Penguins are going to have their hands full against one of the Central's best teams. The Stars are a powerhouse that have guys like Mikko Rantanen and Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston. The Stars are a team that could realistically contend for the Stanley Cup.

They along with the Colorado Avalanche are primed to come out of the Western Conference and be that side's represent in the Stanley Cup. The Penguins will have to be ready to play against this team as they are very tough.

They also have a superstar goaltender in Jake Oettinger and former Penguins goaltender Casey DeSmith as his backup goaltender that the Penguins know well. The Penguins last played the Stars on the road at the very end of last season and were able to come away with the win.

This one should be another nailbiter and close game. It would not be surprising if the Penguins were able to come away with a win in this one and extend the streak.
