The Penguins ended their exhibition schedule on a high note and put their best foot forward to peak for the start of the season with a resounding 7-1 win over visiting Buffalo.
While the game results couldn’t mean less, it would be difficult not to be impressed by the job of the best players on the Pens. Sidney Crosby recorded two goals and an assists. Jake Guentzel nabbed a goal and two assists. Evgeni Malkin notched three helpers. Ty Smith had a goal and an assist. Bryan Rust scored two goal. The third line got in on the act with Jeff Carter making a nice pass for Danton Heinen to put on an even nicer deke of the goalie in front for the finish.
