Sabres http://www.officialhockeyjetsshop.com/authentic-adidas-jacob-trouba-jersey , who meet Monday at PPG Paints Arena, seem to have switched identities this season.The Penguins, winners of the Stanley Cup two of the past three seasons, are 7-8-3, last in the Eastern Conference and mired in a 1-7-1 funk.The Sabres, doormats for several years, are 12-6-2 and have won five straight.Article continues below ...The teams’ results in their most recent game on Saturday underscore the differences. Pittsburgh scored first but gave up five unanswered goals in a 6-4 loss at Ottawa.

Sometimes when you get in these types of circumstances http://www.officialhockeyjetsshop.com/authentic-adidas-kyle-connor-jersey , you can try a little too hard and it gets in the way of your instinctual play. There’s always that fine line of trying but making sure you don’t try too hard because that can be counterproductive.”Pittsburgh team captain Sidney Crosby has missed the past two games because of an upper-body injury. He has been skating on his own and is considered day-to-day, but Pittsburgh was off Sunday and it is unknown whether he might be available Monday.Coming back home isn’t necessarily a comfort zone for the Penguins, who are 3-5-1 at PPG Paints Arena.“As a group, we’ve just got to find a way,” said winger Matt Cullen, the oldest player in the NHL at 42, who scored one of three third-period goals Saturday as the Penguins made a push that fell short against the Senators.“I think we’re better than the way we’re playing,” Cullen said. “The last period showed some fight Mark Scheifele Jersey , but from the drop of the puck we need to have more urgency in our game.“Time goes pretty quick. We find ourselves at Thanksgiving here pretty soon. We’ve got to get to our game and do it more consistently.“These are important points for us.
