Open Thread: Buffalo Sabres vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (Preseason)

The Sabres host the Penguins for a Saturday matinee.

The Buffalo Sabres host the Pittsburgh Penguins (more like the WBS Penguins, based on their projected lineup) today, Saturday, at 1 pm.

The Penguins are dressing a largely AHL/prospect lineup after trimming their preseason roster to 45 players on Friday. A few familiar faces will be suiting up, including Drake Caggiula, Alex Nylander, Chad Ruhwedel and Dustin Tokarski. (Tokarski is not expected to play.)

Meanwhile, the Sabres’ roster for today’s game is a healthy mix of NHLers and those who are on the cusp. Either way: it’s only preseason, and this is the perfect time to try out different combinations, give players who aren’t going to be on the top lines a chance, and tune up for the season ahead.

Here’s all the details about this afternoon’s game:
