Saturday night, the Pittsburgh Penguins took on the Buffalo Sabres, who were also at the top of their division. Buffalo put up a good fight, but in the end, after a Shoot Out, Pittsburgh walked away with the win. This was the Penguins’ second consecutive Shoot Out.

In the 15th minute of the first period, Buffalo scored the opening goal.  However, only about four minutes later, Chris Kunitz tied up the game with an assist coming from Sidney Crosby.  Between the second period, third period, and Over Time, 42 shots were exchanged, but nothing made it’s way into the back of the net.  Buffalo started off the Shoot Out, but after two saves and a miss on their end, Kris Letang’s goal for the Penguins ended up winning them the game.

Marc Andre Fleury was in the net, stopping just about all the shots that he came across.  He had a total of 31 saves in the game, along with his two during the Shoot Out.  Fleury is showing hockey fans why he has that Stanley Cup ring. 

The Penguins take on the New Jersey Devils this Monday, December 21 at 7:30 P.M.  The Devils are not only Division Rivals, but currently tied with the Penguins for the NHL leader.
