NHL Highlights | Sabres vs. Penguins – January 6, 2024

For a face off on Fifth Avenue it’s the pens of the Sabers the regular season series finale underway thanks for being with us here on sportset Pittsburgh Jack Quinn after it fully back to health after a torn Achilles across for Johnson is Drive stopped by jari early test and a good

Stop get his play to where he wants it you see a big save right there it just kind of shot off into the crowd penguin’s able to come up with it looked like it hit cousins right off him and he can’t find it no one can find it Thompson eludes pressure and he’ll

Send it back to the former Boston brew and Conor clipton in his first year with the sailors nice pass ahead for tuck fires and scores and Alex tuck just under three minutes in is giv the Savers a one- nothing lead pen caught in a little change and

They get another player it was Skinner first took a couple Hefty steps into this thing and shot up from long range and he hasn’t had a goal or a point in his last or sorry zero goals in his last eight games played he did score against the Penguins in their last meeting a

Goal and an assist and Tang behind the that for Pon connects to recel gensel he finds Crosby behind the defense save ruken in with Crosby to Rael to gensel Sea and Luca had had the answer seas and got his first two NHL points with the savers

Hain comes back in on the backand behind and at in front lukan and stops rusting tight Gino was flying there it’s almost like what’s he going to do when he has a puck in that situation that kind of speed then once he gets down below the

Goal line there so many options open up with guys attacking rook and knocks it to the corner it’s Russ letting it go past for Carlson a fan on the pass look out here Eric Robinson with a step behind him to the net Robinson stopped by John Joseph back up top Eric Carlson finds

Joseph snapshot save Luken and rebound pushed wide by Samuelson newu Puck Tracked Down by Quinn off the Miss shot by gensel cousins Taps it over the line cleared right back out here come the pens it’s gensel looking for Crosby in front o conter score me that was Sick just had numbers coming up ice you can see them here in transition and that’s a sauce pass hits a body and an alien brain Crosby just bunts it back to a Conor on a platter for a wide open net who does that who sees that Crosby oh Conor continues to score

Challenging that the play was offside prior to the scoring of the goal oh and this would be a shame cuz that was something else we’ll get a look at it six goal for Dr Conor I can’t even believe what I just saw oh that was unbelievable passing

There from the pens it’s close it’s definitely close now remember if Buffalo loses this challenge Penguins go right back on the power oh man it’s offside it is offside for the Verdi after the coach’s challenge it was determined the play was offside there is no goal please reset

The game clock to four 14 bouncing wide of the net as Carter was crashing in here’s Carter with it to the goal slips it on net in a save made by Lucan in this game and the fourth line trying to manage this game and get a chance

Here here’s Rael with just over a minute to go in the period connects to Crosby surveying snapshot scores you called it right on Q the captain is is tied this game letting this line go to work in the offensive zone and right when he got it

Here he’s rolling up that wall I was thinking in my head oh boy This spells trouble for the Sabers as he walks in and there’s traffic he somehow fings it through and there’s Jake gensel out in front how many times have we seen him in that Buffalo is challenging that there

Is goal tender interference prior to the scoring of the goal so what I will say I don’t know if it changes too much of what would have happened or what could have happened you can see gensel he’s out of the blue paint heels right on it doing his job

His one foot does come in as he turns after the coach’s challenge to determined that there was go 10 interference on the play we have [Applause] no and staying out of that blue paint which he for the most part did but just that a little bump on Lucan and took

That goal away but they’ll see this line start again and go back to work and aend now a three on two as tuck comes out under the ice it’s ell looking for Smith knocked down by Russ Smith back in front and he’s stopped by lcan we get a look

At this last Rush as his penalty expires you can see tuck trying to get back in the play just finds it’s way back on the stick of Smith ran out of time and space he’s right on the doorstep of Lucan and when he does get it it’s like oh boy what am

I Joseph slides it behind the goal for Crosby back all the way around left wing for he’s got a man it’s Rael passon rard Rael and he’s stopped by Lan but it was Rael not in behind just like Crosby Lucan it’s got all he’ll skate it

Out yeah Samson feeling that one is a puck look out a shot off the end wall jar makes the save and then the puck eludes him luckily canel with him as well as it’s wrapped three-headed three-headed monster here he goes here he go it’s Kel right down Fifth Avenue

Backhander stopped by Luc nicely executed breakout on the stick of Jake gensel tried to bleed it through that five hole J knocked over by cage Thompson and back Vice Carter carrying it in in the slot Harkins a Drive Great save Lucan well we’ll see if they can get it

Done here not for a lack of chances by the Penguins but four on four action Lucan just been penguin still 55 seconds of five on three time trying to get even it’s Malin risting it he hits the post looking for a lane Eric Carlson walking back to the line oh

Chris Cross with Crosby Carlson from Ain back to Carlson in front deflected and they store Ricard ricel sends it to the back of the net and the penguins have tied this game on a power play goal Oh it’s a three-game point streak for Ricard Rael as Carlson took that puck the length of the ice set it all up and look at that shot pass by Carlson what a heads up play through that seam out of the reach of the extended foot of Lucan who seem to be getting

Pieces of everything this building is alive here they come Russ back in front it’s loose in the blue paint and Lucan and how did he find that he’s run into by L Tang jams it up the wall Crosby gets around Skinner and here comes Sydney Crosby into the slot Pon gripping

Ripping save LC it you better figure it out and straighten it out when 87 has it cuz you’ll find a guy and a great shot by Pon working in the here’s Robinson for Samuelson with pressure here from Buffalo wish shot wide KBS samels he’ll fire that hits a stick

And they score gurson’s right at top the crease hammers it in and buffalo goes back in front [Applause] late started with tuck just dumping it in and starting a new shift out as you can see that puck just got through bodies here we get a look at our super Mo

Presented by Ahn hits off about three guys it’s like the goals in Buffalo the other night and gurgenson is just in behind Carlson right there lands right in front of him he just swipes it on his backand towards the net and out there over a minute eludes the pressure of

Zack Benson you could tell he was tired there but he he’s a battler and push through it to beat Benson and that puck look out a turnover DOI scores Jaret started to make his way to the bench Penguins lost possession and Rasmus darene capitalizes Buffalo 3-1 I

Didn’t think he was going to spot jar as he just left look at him look he looked right there and he goes okay I’ll take a shot look at jari trying to get back just out of the reach just trying to stretch out buries it right into the empty

Net Sabers able to push cross for Carlson he feeds gensel cross ice knock down Bist shot stopped by Lucan and another great save from the Buffalo netm he’s been the story tonight Rael for Crosby off the post that’s the other story it’s a third post final seconds tick away and the
