Buffalo Sabres

Victor Oloffson, Tage Thompson, JJ Peterka and Kyle Okposo also scored for Buffalo. Eric Comrie made 18 saves. “It's good that we're able to finish games,” Tuch ...

Guentzel was spotted from long range by defenseman Kris Letang and scored on a shot to the blocker side. Both teams debuted their new “reverse retro” jerseys for the first time. Oloffson added a second empty-net goal with 6.6 seconds left. Rasmus Asplund assisted on Peterka’s goal and picked up his fifth point in his last five games. “We’ve got to find a way to get some swagger back in our game,” coach Mike Sullivan said. The Penguins’ latest loss comes after they surrendered a 5-2 lead on Tuesday in Boston before losing 6-5 in overtime.

After tonight’s game, the Sabres are now the only team in the NHL to have three players with seven goals (Thompson, Olofsson, and Tuch, respectively) and are currently tied for first in the NHL for outscoring their opponents in the third period 18-7. Though the first and second periods were some what regrettable for Buffalo, they brought an abundance of action in the third period and boy, was it fun to watch. Overall, it was a game of experience versus youth with the Pens being the second oldest team in the league with an average age of almost 30 and the Sabres being the fourth youngest team with an average age of 26. Guentzel’s goal was the fourth fastest scored at the start of a period in Penguins history. With some nice work by Peyton Krebs and Rasmus Asplund (serving as pesky distractions in front of the net), Peterka’s wrister was a thing of beauty as the Sabres finally found themselves on the scoreboard with just over a minute remaining in the second period. Then, the second period began similarly to the first - except with a sloppier version of the Sabres.
