MONTREAL--Washington is one of many cities in the East being battered by snow today, and reports this morning indicate that travel into and out of that area is treacherous, at best.
That's an issue for the Penguins, who will face Montreal today at 2:08 p.m. at the Bell Centre but are scheduled to play Washington at the Verizon Center Sunday at 12:08 p.m.
Team officials still are trying to settle on the best way to get the team to Washington after the game against the Canadiens Because virtually all air traffic into that region has been stopped, one option might be to fly as close as they can, then take a train or bus the rest of the way.
Of course, that assumes that the trains are running or that the highways are passable.
While there's no indication yet that Sunday's game will be postponed, it's a possibility that, for obvious reasons, hasn't been ruled out, either.
