Johnson vs Turco & Tonight's Lines
\
It will be a battle of the back-ups tonight. Brent Johnson will be in net for the Penguins. Marty Turco will be in for the Bruins. Could this be Brent Johnson's final start in a Penguins jersey? Could it be Marty Turco's final start ever?

Are the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Market for Backup Goaltender?
Brent Johnson‘s clear struggles this season (3-7-2, .882 SV%, 3.17 GAA) may be forcing the Pittsburgh Penguins to look for a backup goaltender to add before or at the 2012 NHL Trade Deadline.
Having a capable backup goaltender is an extremely underrated amenity, especially this season as Marc-Andre Fleury is on pace to play over 70 games in the regular season for the first...

Did Johnson’s KO KO Jonson?
When the Penguins signed Brent Johnson to be Marc-Andre Fleury’s backup three years ago, they knew what they were getting. He was a reserve goalie his whole career, who had 111-94-12 record and a .903 save percentage. You can’t ask for much more out of a backup tender.
And the Pens didn’t have to; in his first year in the Burgh, Johnny started 15 games and went...

At least one thing did not change over the NHL's All-Star break: Goalie Brent Johnson was in his usual position at the end of the Penguins bench Tuesday when their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs began at Consol Energy Center. Marc-Andre Fleury made his 23rd consecutive appearance - all but two of them as a starter - to extend the longest such streak of his career.

Video: Brent Johnson Save of the Year Candidate
Watching your team kill a penalty in the final minute of a game with a one-goal lead is always nerve-racking. Take another defending player off the ice, add one for the attackers, and make sure the backup goaltender is in net, and you’re left with a 6-on-3 penalty kill that had even Penguins fans, owners of the second-ranked penalty kill in the NHL after leading the league...
