GAME RECAP: Penguins at Sabres () | Taking on the Sabres

The Penguins took to the road for a contest against the Buffalo Sabres to start a series of back-to-back games.

Lars Eller scored in the 2nd period after Matt Nieto recovered a turned-over puck and set up Eller. The middle period ended with a 2-0 Penguins advantage on the scoreboard. In the final period, Skinner scored on the power play to end a streak of 111:22 without a goal allowed by Alex Nedeljkovic. Almost five minutes later, Okposo had a shot redirected into the back of the net to tie things up, 2-2. With under three minutes remaining in regulation, Tuch gave the Sabres their first and only lead of the evening. Pittsburgh returns to action tomorrow night at home against the Maple Leafs.
