Struggling teams meet as Penguins host Bruins

Dec 23, 2007 - 2:14 PM Boston (18-13-4) at Pittsburgh (17-16-2) 3:00 pm EST

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) - For the second time in less than a week, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins meet.

Fans will be hoping Sunday's game is as exciting as Thursday's contest, when the Penguins squandered a four-goal lead before emerging with a 5-4 shootout win.

Thursday's game also featured the first fight in the career for Penguins star Sidney Crosby, who dropped the gloves with Boston's Andrew Ference.

Pittsburgh was unable to build off the win over Boston as it suffered a 4-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Friday. The Penguins are 2-4-0 in their last six games.

The Bruins, who have lost three straight games, are coming off Saturday's 4-1 home setback to the St. Louis Blues.

Boston played without the services of defenseman Aaron Ward (broken foot), defenseman Andrew Alberts (post-concussion syndrome) and winger Glen Murray (hip flexor), but did welcome back left wing Shawn Thornton after a 21-game absence due to a broken foot.
