It starts off poorly for the Pens and doesn’t improve from there
The Penguins slipped into some old, bad habits and finished up an 0-2-1 road trip that didn’t have a lot go right. One aspect that did was Sidney Crosby scoring a goal to clinch his 20th straight season of producing at least a point poor game.
Unfortunately for Crosby and the Pens, that goal was the only one Pittsburgh scored out of the first eight of the game with the Sabres taking a 7-1 lead after two periods. The Pens tacked on a pair of goals in garbage time but weren’t able to put up much of a fight tonight right from the beginning when they allowed a goal in the first minute of the game.
Pittsburgh has eight more games to go in what’s become a forgettable 2024-25 season. They’ll knock the next one out on Sunday at home before heading out on the road.
Here are the highlights of the game, if you dare.
