Sidney Crosby and the red-hot Penguins are in town for tonight's game and we'll have all your pregame updates here on the Edge, with the Sabres taking the ice at HSBC Arena at 10 a.m. and the Penguins at 11:30.
The Penguins have won 11 in a row, six shy of the NHL record. It's the longest streak a visiting team has ever brought to Buffalo for a game against the Sabres.
As if they need more help, there's a chance the Penguins will get Evgeni Malkin back tonight from a knee injury. He's scheduled to take the morning skate.
The Penguins are being trailed by camera crews from HBO, filming "24/7", the reality show following the Pens and Capitals in advance of the Winter Classic. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has a clip from the show, which debuts Wednesday night, and it looks slick. This is going to be some fabulous publicity for the NHL. Check it out below.
