US EditionSabres wrap: Five-goal second period spoils Crosby's night as Buffalo rolls to win
- On Thursday, March 27, 2025, the Buffalo Sabres defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 7-3 at KeyBank Center, marking Buffalo's fourth-straight home win.
- The Penguins, struggling with a 1-3-1 record in their last five games and having allowed an NHL-worst 261 goals entering the night, faced a youth-laden Sabres lineup missing key players due to injuries and personal issues.
- The Sabres' offensive eruption included a five-goal second period and contributions from 14 different players, with standout performances from Jiri Kulich , Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch, Peyton Krebs, and Tyson Kozak, each securing a goal and an assist, while James Reimer made 22 saves.
- Sidney Crosby, despite scoring his 26th goal of the season at 8:49 in the first period to cut Buffalo's lead to 2-1, secured his 80th point, ensuring he would finish his 20th NHL season averaging at least a point per game, surpassing a record previously shared with Wayne Gretzky.
- The Sabres' victory, fueled by a strong second period where Kulich and Samuelsson scored within a 1:44 span to put Buffalo up 4-1, sets them up to open a three-game road swing at Philadelphia on Saturday, while the Penguins, continuing to unravel, will host Ottawa on Sunday.
