Pittsburgh Penguins (32-21-5) vs Buffalo Sabres (28-22-8)
In Buffalo at 6pm
Watch on FSN/Center Ice or listen live at WXDX.com.
Sid skated in a full contact practice yesterday for the first time since the crash into the boards. Since the injury his projected return was set for March 15. I'm no doctor, but considering his degree of recovery I'd say fans can expect him back sooner rather than later.
Gary Roberts has also been taking to the ice on a regular basis now since the broken leg.
Marc-Andre Fleury may only have another game or two awaiting him in WBS before returning to Pitt full-time. His rehab record is 1-1
In the Carolina game, Jeff Taffe suffered a broken nose and in turn may be absent in the lineup tonight. Kris Beech, the ghost on the ice since his recent re-acquisition, also broke his wrist in the 4-2 loss to the Canes.
Erik Christensen will also be a scratch tonight as he continues to recover from the minor shoulder injury sustained in the 2-1 loss against the Bruins.
It's amazing what a week can do to a team.
Notes
Buffalo fell to the Rangers 5-1 last night.
Miller was pulled in the first after giving up 4 goals on 11 shots.
The first goal came 10 seconds into the first.
Can the Pens expect to see Thibault in net?
The Penguins lead the season series 2-0.
Up until yesterday's loss the Sabres were on a hot 8-0-2 run.

they're not
playing well in their own end at all. They have to clear this puck out. Unbelievable.
There's going to be some fights soon.
they're lookin so bad
right now. It's bad enough Buff was dominating even strength. now the Pens are going to give them a PP.
yeah
i guess 9 shots in the 1st 5 mins is garbage.

Missed opportunity
How in the heck did they not score on that opportunity. I thought for sure the Sabres were going to be losing 1-0 despite controlling the first period of action.

yeah
that was niiiice! He doesn't shoot much in SO for the Pens, does he?

chalk it up
A much needed win. Rumor has it Sid could be back as early as Tuesday, with Roberts coming within the next 2 weeks. Things are going to get very intense very soon.
no
chit? I've been patiently waiting for Gary to come back. All tied up....again!
