PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
(2)
vs.
OTTAWA SENATORS (7)
| Evgeni
Malkin stepped up in a huge way when Sidney Crosby went
down with an injury this season. The powerful young
Russian proved to everyone how big of a star he really
is. With Malkin and
Crosby leading the charge in Pittsburgh, the Senators
are going to have their hands full with this quick and
offensively gifted team.
Watch out for Ryan Malone
and Gary Roberts this series, as they'll be two players
who might step up their games.
Battling injuries, the
Senators will need Jason Spezza and Dany Heatley to up
their games even more, as Daniel Alfredsson and Mike
Fisher will miss some action.
Ottawa's goaltender and
overall defensive game will have to be more than stellar
if the Senators want to get past the first round. |
