Lineup Changes for Penguins/Sabres




Just a quick post before tonight's game on the road against the Sabres (7:30 PM EST).

John Curry will make his first NHL start in goal tonight, after replacing Dany Sabourin halfway through Wednesday night's come-from-behind win against the Islanders.

I said earlier that I felt Therrein should come right back with Sabourin, but perhaps Therrein was planning on splitting the starts in the back-to-back games tonight against Buffalo and tomorrow at home against New Jersey anyway.

The Penguins also recalled Janne Pesonen from Wilkes-Barre yesterday after center Max Talbot took a puck off the leg against the Islanders and didn't return.

Pesonen will be in the lineup tonight even though Talbot took the morning skate today and also will be in the lineup.

Someone among the forwards will be scratched to make room for Pesonen. I'm not sure who that will be at this point. Dupuis? Fedotenko? We'll see.

Recap tomorrow.
