FEATURE: Game Day, Pittsburgh @ Columbus, Oct. 30th, 2009, 7:00pm EST.

Pittsburgh "walking wounded" Penguins come in to Columbus missing both Gonchar and most recently Malkin. So far the loss of these two top end stars hasn't stopped the Penguins from continuing their impressive start to the season. Columbus will look to put an end to a horrible two game losing streak in which they have allowed 10 goals against and only managed to score 3 on their opponents. In fact in all the Columbus losses so far there is only one where they didn't allow exactly 6 goals against. That one game was against Phoenix where they allowed 4. Baby steps I guess. It certainly doesn't look like a Hitchcock coached team and Mason hasn't looked anything like his former self from last season. The Penguins just need to keep doing what they're doing and the Jackets need to buckle down and hope Mason finds his form. Fleury will be getting the night off but, don't expect that to be comforting to the Jackets as Johnson is 9-2-2 with a 2.03 GAA lifetime vs. Columbus.

Another interesting matchup could be Habs/Hawks. Huet against Bob Gainey.

You're welcome to do up a GDT if you want. I'll even post it up on the main page as another FEATURE GDT.

No, no. Just random thoughts. I'm sorry it sounded like I was suggesting anything else. Just fluffing, really.

Pittsburgh is getting spanked. Nash with two goals, Vermette with two assists. 3-1 early in the third.

Ooh, getting tense. Pens score a goal with 3 minutes to go. Now 3-2.

And they tie it up!

3-point game.

Penalty to Voracek, 26 seconds to go in OT.

To the shootout.

Vermette misses; Letang hits the post; Nash misses; Crosby scores.

Huselius fails. Game over.

Just like that, led 3-1 until just under 3 minutes left in the third. Sounds familiar.
