The Pens are back in Pittsburgh to take on the Buffalo Sabres, who are out of the playoffs. The Sabres played last night in an tiring game against the Jets, who are fighting for a playoff chance. So both teams will be a bit tired from playing yesterday. Getting on the board early will be a big deal in this contest. Geno will return to the lineup along with Flower and Tanger.
The Pens lineup is as follows:
Forwards
Iginla, Geno, Duper
Kuni, Sutter, Cooke
Morrow, Jokinen, Bennett
Glass, Jeffrey, Adams
Defense
Orpik, Tanger
Murray, Niskanen
Eaton, Engo
Flower between the pipes!
