Penguins at Sabres
(NHL) Penguins (PIT) vs. Sabres (BUF),
Money Line: -130.00 Sabres (BUF) (Home)
Result: Loss
In Pittsburgh, short of firing HC Mike Sullivan (which is not happening anytime soon), or moving Sidney Crosby (which is not happening...ever), we suppose one move that could shake up the Penguins was shedding another key player, which is exactly what Pittsburgh did when putting GK Tristan Jarry on waivers after the midweek loss to Seattle. Here is the problem for the Pens...Alex Nedeljkovic, now Sullivan's top option in the nets, wasn't much better, if any better, than Jarry this season, as comparable GAA (3.40) and saves (.886) stats, both subpar, suggest. The Pens have also lost seven of eight and five straight on the road. Buffalo can be erratic but UPL in goal can be very good as he was on Wednesday when saving 35 of 37 Carolina shots, when Ryan McLeod scored a hat-trick in the Sabres' 4-2 win. Play Sabres on ML
