The Penguins are set to host the Buffalo Sabres at Consol Energy Center! The Penguins are coming off a great season/home opener against the Devils Thursday night with a 3-0 win. The Penguins shut down the Devils, as the Flower earned his 24th career shutout and 250th career win. The Penguins didn't go without some loss, as Neal left the game in the first period due to an upper body injury. The Penguins will be without his services tonight and Letang, though he did skate on his own this morning. Tonight will be the 800th career game for Duper! Hopefully the Penguins can keep the momentum going. If they play like they did Thursday night then this game will be golden for the Penguins.
The Pens lineup is as follows:
Forwards
Kuni, Sid, Duper
Jokinen, Geno, Bennett
Jeffrey, Sutter, Kobasew
Glass, Vitale, Adams
Defense
Orpik, Martin
Scuderi, Niskanen
Maatta, Bortuzzo
Flower in the cage!
