Rita and Cross to Play Against Rags
The two newest Penguins will be in the line-up against the New York Rangers today when the puck drops at 2:00pm on NBC. The Pens are playing their 2nd of 3 consecutive NBC games.
I am most looking forward to seeing Jani Rita take the ice. He is a former first round draft pick who really never got his chance in Edmonton. The Penguins tend to give quality ice time to new players, so he may even take some shifts with Sidney Crosby. Hopefully he will end up being a diamond in the rough for a team that could use some help scoring goals.
We sort of know what to expect from Cory Cross. He is a big guy with some offensive ability. He should play some solid defense and chip in some points, maybe on the 2nd power play.
Not sure if the Pens are planning any more moves. The Edmonton trade had been rumored for quite some time, but things are a bit quiet right now. Craig Patrick rarely tips his hand so who knows what could be brewing. Names that could move: LeClair, Recchi, Gonchar, Malone and Jackman.
