The Penguins head to Nashville to take on a surprisingly struggling Predators team and it presents an opportunity for them to keep themselves in the playoff race. Before they get into the Nashville preview, WE HAVE A TRADE! The Penguins reacquire PO Joseph from St. Louis and they give their takes on the move. Patrick and Hunter break down what's gone wrong for the Preds this season to this point and how the Penguins can take full advantage. Then, for the first time in a long time, the Penguins will have a big interest in the World Junior Championships as a trio of prospects will head to the tournament the day after Christmas. Finally, a two-time champion with the Penguins and the father of a thousand memes has called it a career. Patrick and Hunter remember the career of Justin Schultz and talk about what he meant and the role he played in two championships.
