Final
Streaking Penguins go for sixth straight win
Nov 15, 2008 - 11:32 AM Buffalo (9-4-3) at Pittsburgh (10-4-2), 7:30 p.m. ESTPITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- The Pittsburgh Penguins look to continue their winning ways on Saturday when they host the Buffalo Sabres.
Pittsburgh has won its last five games, totaling 27 goals over 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.
