It’s safe to say last night’s 3-1 victory at KeyBank Center in Buffalo was a bit of a mixed bag for our Penguins.
On the good news side of the ledger, our guys moved into second place in the Metro Division and clinched their eleventh-straight playoff berth.
The bad news? Jake Guentzel, hotter than a proverbial Fourth of July firecracker, suffered a concussion when he was flattened in the first period on a blindside check by mammoth Sabres defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen. Well away from the puck.
Nor did linemate Sidney Crosby escape unscathed.
