The Pittsburgh Penguins are hitting the home ice tonight, welcoming the Buffalo Sabres for their season’s first face-off. Riding high on a three-game road victory wave, the Pens are eager to extend their winning streak on familiar territory. Despite a puzzling 2-4-0 record at the PPG Paints Arena, tonight’s matchup could be the perfect opportunity for a turnaround, with the Sabres rolling into town.
The Sabres, boasting a 7-6-1 record after edging out a 3-2 victory over the Wild on Friday, sit 6th in the Atlantic Division. They’re poised to give the Penguins a run for their money tonight, with left winger Jeff Skinner at the helm of their team.
