One of the teams he has played his best hockey against is the Buffalo Sabres. Crosby enters tonight having pickedup at least one point in 28 of his 31 career meetings against the Sabres.Pittsburgh has won the past 15 games against the Sabres that Crosby has suited up for dating back to Feb. 1, 2010. During that run,Crosby has points in 14 of 15 games, amassing a total of 30 points (7G-23A). BACK ON THE WAGONMarc-Andre Fleury figures to make his first start tonight since Nov. 10 against Minnesota. That night, Fleury made a season-high 40saves. In between starts, Fleury came on in relief of Matt Murray on Wednesday night in Washington.Fleury has won seven-straight games against the Sabres, posting a miniscule 0.86 goals-against average (6 GA/420 MIN) and a .963save percentage (158 saves/164 shots) with three shutouts.Fleury has won 19 of his last 23 decisions against the Sabres. COMEBACK EFFORTStatistically, Kris Letang had one of his worst games Wednesday in Washington, going minus-5 in Pittsburgh’s worst loss since 2011.He rebounded last night by scoring the overtime game-winning goal and tacking on an assist. That represented his fourth multiple-pointgame in his last eight games since returning from injury. During that span, Letang has nine points (2G-7A).Letang’s goal was his fourth career regular-season overtime goal. The only players with more in club history – Mario Lemieux, SidneyCrosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jaromir Jagr. HORNQVIST SIDELINEDThe Penguins were down a key contributor yesterday in Brooklyn as Patric Hornqvist missed the game due to a concussion. Thatended a lengthy ironman streak for Hornqvist, who had played in 135 consecutive games (regular season and playoffs) since the lastgame he missed on March 26, 2015 at Carolina.Last year, Hornqvist tied for the team lead with two goals in the season series against the Sabres.

 LEADING THE WAYCaptain Sidney Crosby led the charge yesterday in Brooklyn, scoring the opening goal of the game then making a superb play to setup Kris Letang’s OT winner. That was Crosby’s team-leading sixth multi-point game of the year.Crosby has been both dominant and consistent since returning from missing the first six games of the season due to a concussion. Hehas points in nine of his first 11 appearances this year, and goals in eight of his first 11 contests.Crosby hasn’t gone more than one game without scoring a goal. ASSIST MANChris Kunitz set up Pittsburgh’s first two goals last night in Brooklyn, his first multiple-point game of the year. After collecting just twoassists in his first seven games, Kunitz has picked up at least one point in seven of his last 10 contests (2G-6A-8PTS). Both of his goalsthis year have been game-winning tallies. STREAK OVER AT 11Goalie Matt Murray saw his impressive 11-game regular-season winning streak that dated back to last season come to a close whenhe suffered the loss on Wednesday night in Washington.Murray’s run, which is tied for the second-longest win streak in club history, began on March 6 of last year: Name                            # of Wins          DatesTom Barrasso                 14                     March 9-Arpil 9, 1993Matt Murray                   11                     March 6-Nov. 12, 2016Marc-Andre Fleury          11                     Nov. 17-Dec. 11, 2010 Murray only lasted 19:36 minutes against the Capitals before exiting after taking an accidental stick in the head from teammate EvgeniMalkin during a post-whistle scrum behind his net.    FAST FACTS FROM #PITvsNYI*Pittsburgh improved to 4-0 this year following a regulation loss.*Matt Murray picked up his fifth win, getting right back in the win column the very next game after his 11-game winning streak came toa close on Wednesday.*Before this game, the Penguins had received three goals from their defensemen all year. Goals from Trevor Daley and Kris Letangran that total to five.*Daley’s goal was the first tally by a Penguins defenseman since Letang tallied on Nov. 2 at Anaheim.*Phil Kessel notched an assist to run his team-leading total to 11. Kessel has 10 assists in his last 11 games.*Both Daley and Brian Dumoulin missed time during the game, but the Penguins didn’t let the shortened bench faze them. The 22shots against equaled the season-low allowed by the Penguins this year (also Oct. 25 vs. Florida). DID YOU KNOW…The seven goals allowed by the Penguins on Wednesday night represented the most goals given up by Pittsburgh since allowing eightto the Ottawa Senators in an 8-4 loss on March 24, 2012 – a span of 319 regular-season games. 2016-17 REGULAR-SEASON SPECIAL TEAMS BREAKDOWNPower PlayOverall: 14-60, 23.3%5-on-4: 14-60, 23.3%5-on-3: 0-0, 0.0%4-on-3: 0-2, 0.0% Penalty KillOverall: 52-65, 80.0%5-on-4: 45-54, 83.3%5-on-3: 4-7, 57.1%4-on-3: 4-5, 80.0%
