The Buffalo Sabres finish off a three-in-three stretch tonight – which also marks their third game in five days – as they visit the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins are dressing a mostly-NHL calibre roster, so it’ll be a tough test for the Sabres.
Earlier today, Buffalo returned defensemen Mats Lindgren and Norwin Panocha to their junior teams.
