Three Questions

1. Will backup Anders Nilsson keep out a high-powered Pens offense?

Nilsson has been impressive in his four starts so far, with stats of 1-1-2 with a GAA of 1.96 and a .942 save percentage. Pittsburgh though has won 15 straight games against Buffalo with Sidney Crosby in the lineup, back to early 2010. Crosby has 30 points in those games (7G, 23A), with 49 points in 31 career games against the blue and gold.
