KEY GAME INFORMATION
PITTSBURGH: LAST SEASON: 48-26-8, 104 points. Finished 2nd in Metropolitan Division. Beat San Jose Sharks in six games to win Stanley Cup.
COACH: Mike Sullivan (second season, fourth NHL season).
ADDED: D David Warsofsky.
LOST: G Jeff Zatkoff, F Beau Bennett, D Ben Lovejoy.
PLAYER TO WATCH: C Sidney Crosby. Less than a year removed from a prolonged slump, the two-time MVP is on a major roll as he enters his 12th season. Crosby won the Conn Smythe Trophy while leading the Penguins to the franchise's fourth Cup and followed it up by being named the MVP of the World Cup of Hockey while leading Team Canada to a title. He averaged 1.32 points after Sullivan took over for Mike Johnston in mid-December, a pace that would have won him the scoring title over the course of a full season.
OUTLOOK: The Penguins did little to tinker with a formula that led them back to the top for the first time since 2009. Crosby and teammate Evgeni Malkin remain the heart of the franchise and there's plenty of young legs (and a few older ones) in key supporting roles. The biggest question will be how the goaltending situation gets settled between Marc-Andre Fleury and Matt Murray, who backstopped the Penguins to the Cup after Fleury suffered a concussion late in the regular season.
CHICAGO: LAST SEASON: 47-26-9, 103 points. Finished third in Central Division. Lost to St. Louis Blues in first round of Western Conference playoffs.
COACH: Joel Quenneville (ninth season, 20th NHL season).
ADDED: D Brian Campbell, D Michal Kempny, F Nick Schmaltz, F Tyler Motte, F Jordin Tootoo.
LOST: F Andrew Shaw, F Teuvo Teravainen, LW Andrew Ladd, RW Dale Weise.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Marian Hossa. The rugged winger is coming off one of the worst seasons of his outstanding career, finishing with 13 goals and 20 assists in 64 games. He turns 38 in January and is one away from 500 career goals. With the Blackhawks likely going with a younger group of forwards, they need Hossa to return to his usual production.
OUTLOOK: The expectations are always the same for Chicago, which has been Stanley Cup or bust ever since Jonathan Toews and NHL MVP Patrick Kane developed into two of the top players in the league. But they are going to need a couple of their top forward prospects to develop quickly if they are going to bounce back from last year's first-round exit against St. Louis.
PREVIEW
Penguins aim to rebound against red-hot 'Hawks

CHICAGO -- The Pittsburgh Penguins coughed up a late lead Tuesday night, which likely won't put them in the best of moods heading into a Wednesday test against the NHL's hottest team.

The Penguins squandered a two-goal advantage in a 3-2 loss to the Dallas Stars and now must follow that up with a trip to Chicago to face the blazing Blackhawks, who have won nine of their last 10 games.

Pittsburgh hasn't put up great numbers on the road and fell to 13-11-5 away from home. But it's most likely how the Penguins lost that will likely stick with them as they prepare for back-to-back games against Chicago.

"We're playing a really good team (Wednesday night), so it's going to be a challenge," defenseman Justin Schultz said Tuesday night. "It's good to get back at it."

Schultz said Tuesday's loss -- in which the Penguins surrendered three third-period goals will serve as a lesson learned moving forward.

"We just got outplayed," Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. "We got to hang onto pucks, we got to play behind them. I don't think we managed the puck very well. I don't think we won enough puck battles and as a result, we let them come at us."

The Penguins can't afford to dwell too long on Tuesday's result. Pittsburgh will face a Blackhawks team that has won four straight games and that has gotten plenty of production of late from Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane.

Yet, as well as the Blackhawks have played of late, they are dealing with some health issues. Goalie Corey Crawford will miss his second straight game due to illness. Scott Darling, who was stellar in net in Chicago's 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues on Sunday night, will make the start.

The Blackhawks will also play without defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson, who is continuing to deal with an upper-body injury. Chicago shored up its defense a bit on Tuesday when they welcomed Johnny Oduya back into the fold after acquiring the former Blackhawk in a trade with Dallas.

Oduya returns to Chicago after being part of the Blackhawks Stanley Cup championship teams in 2013 and 2015. But even after bringing back a familiar face to spark the defense moving forward, the Blackhawks know they can't afford to take their health issues lightly.

While the Blackhawks have been hit by more of a flu bug -- both with Crawford and right wing Jordin Tootoo -- a case of the mumps that has hit teams across the league is causing concern.

"You hear that word and you might get a little scared, but at the same time, we've had guys sick in here (with other ailments as well)," Kane told reporters Tuesday, according to CSN Chicago. "Throughout the whole year, you want to try to take care of yourself and keep yourself fresh. It's easier said than done."

Crawford practiced on Tuesday and coach Joel Quenneville said Crawford could have played Wednesday against Pittsburgh, but that he didn't want to take any chances. The Blackhawks will face the New York Islanders Friday and Quenneville isn't willing to take any chances with Crawford against Pittsburgh.

"We want him more than ready," Quenneville told reporters Tuesday. "He can play (Wednesday), but giving him another day or so to get his full energy back is what we're looking for."
