The Buffalo Sabres kept it close until the end, but the Pittsburgh Penguins were the only team to find the back of the net as Pittsburgh handed Buffalo a 3-0 loss Saturday night at KeyBank Center.
Carter Hutton was steady in net for Buffalo, making 31 saves.
Jake Guentzel, Sidney Crosby and Mark Jankowski scored for Pittsburgh. Both Crosby and Jankowski scored on an empty net with under a minute remaining in the game. Casey DeSmith made 24 saves to earn his first shutout of the season.
