Record crowd expected for Sabres, Penguins in outdoor game
Jan 1, 2008 - 2:03 PM Pittsburgh (20-16-2) at Buffalo (18-16-4) 1:00 pm ESTORCHARD PARK, New York (Ticker) -- The Buffalo Sabres and Pittsburgh Penguins meet Tuesday in the first outdoor NHL game in the United States.
Dubbed the Winter Classic, the game will be played before a crowd expected to exceed 74,000 at Ralph Wilson Stadium, home to the NFL's Buffalo Bills.
The only other game outdoors game four years ago when the Edmonton Oilers faced the Montreal Canadiens in the Heritage Classic in Edmonton.
This game does have a unique aspect to it. The third period will be split in half to give each team equal time on both sides of the rink.
The Sabres enter this contest in the midst of a three-game losing streak. They are coming off Saturday's 2-0 setback at Pittsburgh.
The Penguins have won three straight and 12 of their last 17 games. Pittsburgh is four games over .500 for the first time this season.
Ty Conklin, who started for the Oilers in the other outdoor game in November 2003, is expected to start in goal for the Penguins.
