The Buffalo Sabres can move further up the standings in their final game before the Olympic break against the Pittsburgh Penguins at KeyBank Center on Thursday. A win would send Buffalo – currently in the first wild card spot – into the break in second place in the Atlantic Division by virtue of tiebreakers over both Montreal and Detroit.

When it comes to the men’s USA Hockey team competing in Milan, there are plenty of connections to the Pittsburgh Penguins. They include former coaches, players and Stanley Cup winners.

The Pittsburgh Penguins got off to a hot start in the third period, scoring two goals in just 20. Rickard Rakell scored his 10th goal of the year for the Penguins to make it 4-1, followed by Noel Acciari scoring his sixth to make it 5-1.
