Penguins/Sabres preseason Recap: Pens lose Rust, win game

The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-1 in their final preseason tune-up, though the victory was overshadowed by an injury scare. Forward Bryan Rust exited the contest early in the second frame and did not return, adding to Pittsburgh's recent health concerns.

Sidney Crosby opened the scoring in the first period with a quick slapshot, followed shortly by Ville Koivunen extending the lead to two goals. Buffalo answered in the third period when Clouder converted a power-play one-timer past goaltender Silovs.

Nick Robertson eventually sealed the outcome by scoring into an empty net off a feed from Rickard Rakell.
