Wednesday night means hockey on TNT, and while there is no doubleheader tonight, the single game on the network should be a good one as the Sabres host the Penguins in Buffalo.
The Penguins were one of the hottest teams to start the season, but have since cooled down. After a 4-0-1 start with the offense averaging over five goals per game, the team has dropped five in a row, failing to score more than one goal in three out of their last four contests. Most recently, Pittsburgh blew a 5-2 lead to the Bruins and lost in overtime.
Sidney Crosby's 11 points lead the team, but he has just one in the last four games. The captain is also a part of a three-way tie for the team lead in goals with five.
Meanwhile, the Sabres keep on rolling, building a 6-3-0 record thus far this season. The young core group in Buffalo has impressed early on, scoring 4.12 goals per game, the second-highest mark in the league.
Rasmus Dahlin is enjoying the early signs of a breakout season, as the defenseman has six goals and six assists through nine games, putting him in a tie with Tage Thompson for first on the team in points with 12. Thompson enters Wednesday coming off a career six-point night on Monday, potting a hat trick and adding three assists
