Gameday: Projected lineup for tonight's Pens game!

The Pittsburgh Penguins look to keep things rolling with a second victory over the Buffalo Sabres in 24 hours. A convincing 4-0 win Friday night in Buffalo has them coming home confident - but they should not get too cocky, as the Sabres will surely want to turn their fortunes around as they have lost 3 straight games, without scoring a single goal.

Considering the quick turnaround, there will likely be no changes to the lineup, except perhaps to the goalie position - expect Mike Sullivan to announce his starter later in the day.

Here's the expected lineup for tonight's tilt.

Conor Sheary - Sidney Crosby - Patric Hornqvist

Jake Guentzel - Evgeni Malkin - Phil Kessel

Carl Hagelin - Riley Sheahan - Bryan Rust

Tom Kuhnhackl - Carter Rowney - Ryan Reaves

Brian Dumoulin - Kris Letang

Olli Maatta - Matt Hunwick

Ian Cole - Justin Schultz

Ian Cole is expected to stay in the lineup after playing his first game since being a healthy scratch for a few games. Kuhnhackl hopes that his goal slump is behind him after finally putting one in the net against the Sabres. Crosby has 14 points in his last 8 and hopes to keep the hot streak going.

Puck drop is at 7pm ET.
