Brian Boyle is knocked out of the lineup with a minor lower body injury, so Sam Lafferty gets to draw back in. Otherwise, the Penguins are aligned similar to how they have been for a while now on this five-game winning streak.
As for Buffalo, well, they have a team dressing too. Shoutout to Casey Fitzgerald making his NHL debut. He’s the son of 2009 Stanley Cup champion assistant coach Tom Fitzgerald.
First period
Pittsburgh is a stronger team and they jump on Buffalo right out the gates.
