PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- The Pittsburgh Penguins look to continue
their winning ways on Saturday when they host the Buffalo
Sabres.

that span. Three of those wins have come beyond regulation.
The winning streak is the longest since Pittsburgh won eight
straight from December 23-January 10 last season.
Sidney Crosby had two goals and Alex Goligoski scored in the
sixth round of the shootout as the Penguins defeated the
Philadelphia Flyers, 5-4, on Thursday.
Center Evgeni Malkin had a goal and an assist, extending his
point streak to 12 games. The 22-year-old leads the league with
20 assists.
The Sabres got off to a fast start but have struggled of late,
dropping three of four.
Buffalo was trounced, 6-1, against Columbus on Friday - the most
goals it has allowed in a game this season.
