Same as recent practices, Brian Dumoulin is back with Kris Letang on the top pair, Jake Guentzel is back with Sidney Crosby on the top line and Carl Hagelin gets promoted back to the Malkin-Kessel line for some reason.
1st period
Pretty good start for the Penguins, but it’s the Sabres who strike first and just 3:45 into the game. After a nice shift for the Pens in the offensive zone, Ian Cole gets caught on a pinch and Justin Schultz is back on a 2v1 against the last 2 Buffalo players you’d want to see in that situation in Jack Eichel and Evander Kane.
