Edmonton assistant coach Kelly Buchberger spenthis final NHL season as an alternate captain for Pittsburgh in 2003-04. TEAM NOTES: POWER PLAY AMPS UPThe Penguins are 2-0 on the season due in large part to their power play. Pittsburgh has scored a pair of man-advantage goals in bothgames this season –the first time they have tallied two or more power-play goals in back-to-back games since Oct. 16 and 18, 2010 (atPhiladelphia, 2-for-8; vs. Ottawa, 2-for-4). Dating back to last season the Penguins have scored at least one power-play goal in fivestraight games (7-for-19, 36.8%).Pittsburgh’s success on the power play is a continuation of their preseason success, when they finished second in the NHL with a 30.4-percent success rate (7-for-23). KENNEDY FILLS THE NETOver the final two months of last season, forward Tyler Kennedy was the Penguins’ top goal-scoring threat, tickling the twine 14 timesover his final 30 games. Kennedy finished the season with a career-high 22 tallies –including seven on the power play. His goal againstCalgary on Oct. 8 gives him 15 goals over his last 32 regular-season games. LETANG’S HOT STARTLast season Kris Letang enjoyed a breakout campaign, establishing career highs in assists (42) and points (50), while finishing theseason as one of the top contenders for the Norris Trophy (best defenseman). The 24-year-old blueliner has picked up right where heleft off, collecting three assists through his first two games. Only Ottawa’s Erik Karlsson (4 assists) has more assists and points amongdefensemen through the season’s opening weekend. Letang is tied with Jordan Staal (1G-2A) for the team scoring lead through twogames. WINNING ON THE ROADLast season the Penguins ranked T-4th in the NHL with 24 road wins –tying the franchise record first established in 1992-93. ThePenguins have won each of their first two road games this season, giving them five straight wins on the road dating back to the end oflast season. Over their past 13 road games dating back to a 6-5 shootout win at Toronto on Feb. 26 of last season the Penguins havegone 10-1-2. Included in those 10 wins are five shootout wins and one in overtime. Pittsburgh has gone into overtime in eight of its last13 road contests. ROLLIN’ IN WESTERN CANADAThis season-opening road trip through Western Canada marks the 15th time in team history that the Penguins have played threeconsecutive games (in any combination) in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. The Penguins’ 5-3 defeat of the Calgary Flamesassured them a winning record for the third consecutive trip here and sixth time all-time. With a win tonight against the Oilers, thePenguins can sweep the Western Canada trip for the second time in three visits. In 2010, the Penguins went 2-1 between Jan. 13-16, 2010. They won at Calgary (3-1) and Edmonton (3-2) on Jan. 13-14 beforedropping the finale at Vancouver (6-2) on Jan. 16.The Penguins made their first-ever trek to Western Canada with Sidney Crosby Dec. 5-8, 2007, and in dramatic fashion, posted aperfect 3-0 record for the only time in franchise history. Following a 4-2 defeat of Edmonton on Dec. 5, the Penguins posted back-to-back shootout wins over Calgary (3-2, Dec. 6) and Vancouver (2-1, Dec. 8), with then-rookie Kris Letang scoring the game-decidingshootout goal in both games.

ON THE ROAD AGAINThis three-game road swing to begin the year marks just the second time in team history that the Penguins have begun a season withthree straight road games. The only other instance occurred Jan. 20-25, 1995 during the lockout-shortened 1994-95 campaign. Thatyear the Penguins defeated Tampa Bay (5-3), Florida (6-5) and the New York Rangers (3-2) to begin the season 3-0 en route to sevenconsecutive victories to begin the season. 2011-12 REGULAR-SEASON SPECIAL TEAMS BREAKDOWNPower PlayOverall: 4-8, 50.0% (T-1st in NHL)5-on-4: 4-8, 50.0% 5-on-3: 0-0, 0.0% 4-on-3: 0-0, 0.0% Penalty KillOverall: 6-6, 100.0% (T-1st in NHL)5-on-4: 6-6, 100.0%5-on-3: 0-0, 0.0%4-on-3: 0-0, 0.0% 4-on-4Goals For: 0 Goals Against: 0 MILESTONES WATCHD Matt Niskanen 3 games from 300F Jordan Staal 5 goals from 100F Steve Sullivan 8 games from 900 MILESTONES ACHIEVEDF Jordan Staal notching his 200th NHL point (assist) at Calgary 10/8/11F Evgeni Malkin tallied his 26th career game-winning goal at Calgary 10/8/11, tying him with Martin Straka and Rick Kehoe for 5th
