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.
TAMPA BAY: LAST SEASON: 49-24-9, 107 points. Second in Central Division. Lost to San Jose Sharks in Western Conference finals.
COACH: Ken Hitchcock, sixth season with Blues (224-103-36) , 20th season overall (757-453-88-106).
ADDED: F David Perron, G Carter Hutton.
LOST: C David Backes, F Troy Brouwer, G Brian Elliott, F Steve Ott.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jake Allen. The Blues made the 26-year-old goalie their go-to guy in net after trading Brian Elliott to Calgary for a second-round draft pick. Allen went 26-15-3 with a 2.35 goals-against average, .920 save percentage and six shutouts in 47 games last season while splitting time with Elliott.
OUTLOOK: The Blues lost veteran forwards David Backes and Troy Brouwer in free agency but return plenty of firepower offensively, led by Vladimir Tarasenko, Alexander Steen and Paul Stastny. St. Louis still has one of the deepest groups of defenseman in the NHL with Alex Pietrangelo, now the team's captain, Jay Bouwmeester, Kevin Shattenkirk and youngster Colton Parayko.
PREVIEW
Lightning tries to handle Penguins' offensive power

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins meet Saturday night in Tampa, coming off opposite ends of 5-1 scores on Thursday, with the host Lightning scrambling to get back on track and the Penguins scoring at prolific levels.

"It's fun, but we have more confidence, and all four lines are playing amazing," Penguins center Evgeni Malkin said after a 5-1 win at the Florida Panthers on Thursday. "Everyone has helped our team win."

The Penguins (17-7-3) have scored 24 goals in the last four games -- all wins -- raising their scoring average to 3.4 goals per game, second-best in the NHL. The Lightning (14-12-2) are 1-5-1 in their last seven, including a 5-1 home loss to the Canucks on Thursday, putting them at the other end of the spectrum.

"There's no cause for alarm," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said Friday. "We have to get back to our basics. ... You're a little taken aback by that, but we have to be a little more consistent."

The two teams meet Saturday for the first time since last season's Eastern Conference finals, when Pittsburgh prevailed on the way to its overall championship win over the San Jose Sharks. The Penguins and Lightning meet again two more times during the season, but Saturday's game gives Tampa Bay a chance to change its momentum after a sustained scoring drought.

The Lightning got two key players back healthy Thursday in forward Jonathan Drouin and defenseman Jason Garrison, but forward Ryan Callahan remains out with a lower-body injury, adding to a list of lingering injuries that have limited Tampa Bay's scoring.

The Lightning power play, once a team strength, went 0 for 3 Thursday and is now 2 for 17 in the team's last seven games, having ranked among the NHL's five best over the entire season.

Pittsburgh has three of the NHL's top three scorers. Sidney Crosby is tied for the NHL lead with 18 goals and is second in total scoring when you add in 11 assists; Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov is tied with him there, with 13 goals and 16 assists. The Penguins also have Malkin (10 goals, 18 assists) and Phil Kessel (nine goals, 18 assists) to add to their offensive prowess.

"It's not just me. It's the whole line," Malkin said of the team's recent tear. "We need to stay at the same level, a good level, every game."

Lightning goalie Ben Bishop continues to struggle. A Vezina finalist last season, Bishop is 8-10-1 after Thursday's loss with a 2.86 goals-against average. But Cooper said he is not concerned about his start to the season and continues to work him and Andrei Vasilevskiy, who could get the nod Saturday against Pittsburgh.

"I'm not worried about him," Cooper said of Bishop. "He's a confident kid. He's the least of our worries."
