Blueger's slump-buster should serve as confidence-builder

If there's any player who could be considered "snakebitten" this season, it's Teddy Blueger.

Blueger hasn't been bad as of late offensively. He's been generating chances, he just wasn't able to find the back of the net. Coming into Sunday's game against the Lightning at PPG Paints Arena, he had just one goal on the season -- way back on Dec. 6 against the Blue Jackets, a goal that was essentially an empty-netter, though the opposing goaltender had only just started to race to the bench.

In recent weeks had a goal disallowed, breakaway chances denied, tips and other high-danger chances stopped.
