It will be the final regular-season game for both clubs Saturday afternoon when the Pittsburgh Penguins host the Buffalo Sabres.
For Pittsburgh, the stakes are high.
The Penguins (36-16-3, 75 points) are in a chase for first place or at least home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs in the East Division, where the top four spots are tighter than a lot of people's belts coming out of COVID-19 quarantine.
Even the Sabres (15-33-7, 37 points), in last place in the division, realize the pressure that's on the Penguins.
