Here’s a quick glance at who’s hot (and who’s not) for the Penguins over their last ten games leading up to Saturday’s contest with Calgary. The Pens were 7-2-1 during that span.
HOT: The top six players on the scoring list have been doing their job —and then some. For good measure, we’ll throw in rookie defenseman Olli Maatta.
| Player | GP | G | A | PTS | PIM | +/- |
| James Neal | 10 | 7 | 9 | 16 | 15 | 8 |
| Sidney Crosby | 10 | 6 | 10 | 16 | 8 | 7 |
| Chris Kunitz | 10 | 5 | 8 | 13 | 4 | 8 |
| Jussi Jokinen | 10 | 3 | 7 | 10 | 2 | 2 |
| Matt Niskanen | 10 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 4 | 5 |
| Olli Maatta | 9 | 1 | 4 | 5 | 2 | 2 |
| Evgeni Malkin | 3 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 6 | 6 |
NOT: Some of the Pens’ foot soldiers—along with d-men Simon Despres and Rob Scuderi—have been on a downward spiral of late.
| Player | GP | G | A | PTS | PIM | +/- |
| Joe Vitale | 10 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 4 | -4 |
| Simon Despres | 7 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 4 | -4 |
| Craig Adams | 10 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 9 | -9 |
| Tanner Glass | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -4 |
| Rob Scuderi | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -7 |
