One more game until the nearly three-week Olympic break. The Pittsburgh Penguins (28-14-12) are trending sideways over the last two games following their torried 13-2-2 run coming out of the holiday break. The Penguins visit the charging Buffalo Sabres (32-18-6) at Key Bank Center Thursday.

The puck drops just after 7 p.m.

The Penguins are slight underdogs on the FanDuel NHL moneyline. Bettors are split, giving the Penguins +108 to win outright, but the Sabres are -130. Both teams have picked up considerably in their Stanley Cup odds.
