Sabres start four-game road trip against Penguins

Mar 13, 2007 - 2:50 PM Buffalo (44-19-5) at Pittsburgh (37-21-10) 7:30 pm EDT

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- All of a sudden, the Buffalo Sabres are losing games and having trouble scoring goals.

The Sabres look to reverse those trends when they start a four-game road trip against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday.

Buffalo has a one-point lead over New Jersey for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. It is five points behind Nashville for the overall league lead.

The Sabres lead the NHL with 256 goals but have scored just five times in their three-game losing streak. Daniel Briere and Dainius Zubrus scored in Buffalo's 3-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Saturday. Zubrus only has one point in five games since the Sabres acquired him at the February 27 trade deadline.

The Penguins, who missed the playoffs the last four seasons, are fifth in the Eastern Conference. They improved to 4-1-1 in their last six after a 3-2 overtime win over the New York Rangers on Saturday.

Colby Armstrong netted the winner after Sidney Crosby scored the tying goal in the third period. Crosby recorded his league-leading 100th point.

Evgeni Malkin scored a power-play goal for Pittsburgh and leads rookies with 31 goals and 73 points.
