Recap: Desperate Pens come up short against Buffalo

One switch for the Penguins, Brian Boyle is a healthy scratch and Dominik Simon draws back into the lineup.

First period

Pretty decent start for the Pens, considering some of their recent starts. Pittsburgh gets the first power play of the game when Jacob Bryson interferes with Jake Guentzel but the power play...Doesn’t score again, pushing them to 0-for-26 in the last 26 chances. They had good zone time and some looks at the net, but not much had a good chance to beat Dustin Tokarski.

Both teams put up some shots in the first, but it’s a largely uneventful period.
