Penguins will support Ottawa by playing Canadian anthem before hosting Flyers

A nice touch from #Penguins who host #Flyers tonight: Canadian National anthem will be performed pre-game in support of events in Ottawa.

They don't need to play the "O Canada!" before tonight's Penguins vs. Flyers game in Pittsburgh, but in light of Wednesday's tragic events in Ottawa, it's a wonderful move by the home team to perform both anthems prior to the contest.

The game will be broadcast nationally in Canada on Sportsnet 360. Let's hope the anthems are televised so Canadians can see the support.
