Game 27- Buffalo Sabres @ Penguins

The Buffalo Sabres, having lost seven of their last ten games, will visit the Igloo for a 7:08 tilt on Versus Monday night. The Pens are coming off a decent road trip that saw them earn six of a possible eight points. To this point in the season, the Pens are 1-1-0 against the Sabres.

Pittsburgh beat Buffalo 5-2 on November 15th, but the Sabres got redemption at home the night after Thanksgiving with a 3-2 win at home.

You know all about their weapons on offense---Vanek, Pominville, and Roy, who's had a rough start to this year. But last time these teams met, it was pluggers like Paul Gaustad and Drew Stafford who did work to earn the "W" for the Sabres.

The Pens recalled defenseman Ben Lovejoy from Wilkes Barre on Sunday. Hal Gill is a bit shaken up from Saturday's loss in Ottawa, so maybe Lovejoy will crack the lineup.

Mike Zigomanis' status for the game, as of now, is not certain.

It will be Miller v. Sabourin between the pipes, most likely. Nothing is set in stone at this point.
