Washington scored first :8 into the final frame. The Penguins answered with Beau Bennett s goal just 4 seconds later. There was just :57 minutes between Bennett and Phil Kessel s goals. PP: -3 PK: 3-3 INJURIES Position, Player, Status (Consecutive Games Missed) F Eric Fehr, elbow (9) F Bryan Rust, undisclosed () 5-6 Total Regular-Season Man-Games Lost: 4-5 Total Regular-Season Man-Games Lost: 343 RECENT TRANSACTIONS Oct. 8 F Beau Bennett activated from injured reserve and F Bryan Rust placed on IR Oct. 6 F Bobby Farnham claimed off waivers by the New Jersey Devils Oct. F Pascal Dupuis activated from injured reserve TONIGHT S GAME -The Penguins play the first of three contests this year against the Buffalo Sabres (TV: ROOT SPORTS; Radio: 5.9 The X) at CONSOL Energy Center. -Pittsburgh has won six-consecutive games against the Sabres, equaling the Penguins longest winning streak in the history of the series. A win tonight would establish a new series best. -The Penguins have outscored the Sabres, 5-3, during this six-game winning streak. -Marc-Andre Fleury has shut out the Sabres in three of the last five meetings between the clubs. -Overall, the Penguins have won eight of the last games in this series. -Last year the Penguins swept the series, 3-, winning by a combined margin of 3-. -The Penguins won t play at home again until Nov. when the Montreal Canadiens visit for the second time this year. -These two games mark the Penguins first back-to-back situations of the year. PENGUINS vs. SABRES: Pittsburgh s All-Time Record vs. Sabres: In Pittsburgh: 49-- OT Record vs. Sabres: Shootout Record vs. Sabres: Results: Pittsburgh went 3- TEAM NOTES: BREATHTAKING AGAIN The Penguins find themselves over.5 for the first time all season. They owe a ton of credit for that record to goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, who has played even better through the first nine games this season than last year, when he was the team s MVP and an NHL All-Star. Fleury turned away 33 of 34 shots against the Capitals the third time in four outings he s made at least 3 saves. Fleury has started each of the first nine games of the season the second-longest such streak of his career. The only time he started more consecutive games at the outset of a season was 6-7 when he started the first games. Fleury has given up just nine goals his last six starts, going 5- during that stretch. He s expected to get a well-earned breather tonight in favor of backup Jeff Zatkoff.

8 BEST START Through three weeks the Penguins are off to the best defensive start in club history, as Pittsburgh s current.88 goal-against average is the lowest mark posted in October in franchise history. Below is a look at the lowest team goals-against averages posted by the Penguins in the month of October: Year GAA During its -3 start to the season, the Penguins allowed eight goals against. Since then, Pittsburgh has given up a total of just nine goals while winning five of its last six contests. The Penguins.5 goals-against average since Oct. 5 ranks third (tied) in the NHL: Team GAA Los Angeles. Chicago.4 Pittsburgh.5 NY Rangers.5 KESSEL, MALKIN DO IT AGAIN Phil Kessel and Evgeni Malkin have skated in two games together. Kessel has scored the game-winning goal off primary assists from Malkin in both contests. Last night, Kessel s game-winning marker came just :57 after Beau Bennett had tied the score at - early in the third period. Kessel leads the Penguins in goals (4) and shots (3) heading into tonight. Kessel and Malkin are two of the 6 NHL players that have tallied a pair of game-winning goals thus far this season. Last Saturday night against Nashville, the duio combined for the overtime, game-winning goal when Malkin helped set up Kessel, who did the rest, skating through the Nashville defense before putting home his own rebound behind Pekka Rinne. The goal was the fourth career overtime tally for Kessel, and his first since Oct. 4, 4 against the Colorado Avalanche when he played for Toronto. It was the 4 st career game-winning marker his first such tally with Pittsburgh for Kessel. BEAU-TIFUL He s only played in four games due to injury, but Beau Bennett has proven in a short period to be one of the Penguins top offensive threats this year. His goal yesterday not only jump-started the offense, but it marked his second-straight game (not an official streak due to games missed because of injury) he s found the back of the net. Bennett s tally against Washington came in a milestone contest for him his th career regular-season appearance. Bennett s offensive outburst began back in training camp, when he tied Phil Kessel for the team lead with three goals in the preseason. LETANG PLAYS 5 TH NHL GAME Last night against the Capitals, Penguins blueliner Kris Letang became just the fourth defenseman in franchise history to play in 5 games with the team, joining Brooks Orpik (73 games), Ron Stackhouse (6) and Dave Burrows (573). Letang sits points shy of becoming just the fifth blueliner in club history to record 3 points with the team, which would place him alongside Paul Coffey (44 points), Stackhouse (343), Randy Carlyle (33) and Larry Murphy (3). Against the Capitals, Letang paced Pittsburgh with eight shot attempts (finished with 3 official shots on goal). THIS N AT *Captain Sidney Crosby has at least one point in 5 of 8 career meetings against the Sabres. When Buffalo held him scoreless in the season finale last year, it ended a 9-game point streak against the Sabres (G-6A-36PTS). *This will be Jeff Zatkoff s first-career start against the Sabres. It s his first NHL start since April 3, 4 against the Ottawa Senators at CONSOL Energy Center. *This is the first time back coaching in Pittsburgh for Buffalo head coach Dan Bylsma. In five-plus seasons with Pittsburgh from 9-4, Bylsma established franchise records for regular-season wins (5), playoff wins (43) and he won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL s most outstanding coach in -. That year, Sidney Crosby (4 games missed), Evgeni Malkin (39) and Jordan Staal (39) all missed significant action. When Pittsburgh won the Cup in 9, Bylsma directed the club to an finish in 5 games behind the bench, helping the club jump from th place at his arrival to fourth by season s end.

9 INSIDE THE BOX SCORE: PENGUINS vs. CAPITALS *Pittsburgh went 3-for-3 on the PK, improving to 7-for-8 (94.4%) over the last five games. *It won t go down as an official third-period comeback since the Penguins weren t down at the beginning of the final frame, but Pittsburgh didn t blink when it found itself down - less than two minutes into the third period, scoring twice in :57 seconds to take the lead for good. *Nick Bonino registered his first multiple-point game with Pittsburgh (G-A). He has three points (G-A) over his last three games. *Only Sidney Crosby (8: minutes) logged more ice time than Bonino s 8:3 among Pittsburgh forwards. In addition to his points, Bonino blocked a team-high four shots, the third-highest single-game total of his career. *Bonino has gone (6.7%) on faceoffs his last five games. *The 4:9 minutes played by Kris Letang was his lowest total of the year. *David Perron s assist on Phil Kessel s goal was his first point of the year. LONEY HELPS WBS WIN ITS 5 TH -STRAIGHT Pittsburgh native Ty Loney, playing in just his second AHL game this year for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, collected two assists as the Penguins won their fifth-straight game yesterday, 4-3, against Binghamton. Tyler Biggs, making his WBS debut, scored a goal and an assist. Loney and Biggs combined to set up J-S Dea s game-winning goal midway through the third period. Rookie Dominik Simon scored again, giving him a team-leading (tied) eight points (3G-5A). Tristan Jarry is now -, allowing only four goals in those contests.
