When everything was starting to look pretty bleak for the Penguins we get a glimmer of good news.  The Penguins Report said today that both James Neal and Craig Adams were on the ice for morning skate and will be playing tonight.  After Saturday’s loss Coach Byslma said Neal would be out “weeks, not days” with a broken foot.  And Craig Adams who was hurt in Sunday’s practice didn’t seem like it was going to be good news.  So, at least it’s not all bad news today.
