Jagr sits out Sabres-Penguins game

'Pittsburgh captain Jaromir Jagr, bothered by an undisclosed injury that has left him unable to shoot effectively, was not in uniform for Monday night's playoff game against Buffalo.'

Jagr not saying what hurts — or when he'll be back

'The Penguins' star sat out Pittsburgh's 3-1 victory Saturday in Buffalo with what was described as a charley horse, a bruised muscle that is bleeding. However, Jagr also has a sore groin — the same injury that kept him out of four games against New Jersey in the 1999 playoffs. He also may have aggravated a shoulder injury Thursday during a 3-0 victory in Buffalo.'

So far, Hedberg dominating Hasek in Sabres-Penguins series

'But ask any Penguins player and he will point to one player as being largely responsible for their string of six victories in seven games. It's the guy wearing the Moose helmet — Hedberg.'

Stevens' new lease gives Pens playoff life

'While every player on Pittsburgh's roster is committed to defense — from the left-wing lock to protecting rookie goalie Johan Hedberg — one player seems to embody the philosophy more than anyone else: Kevin Stevens.'

Jagr's injured, but how injured is anyone's guess

'Reports have Jagr's injury ranging from a charley horse to a groin pull to a shoulder problem, the latter of which is the current consensus. The Penguins have stood by their "charley horse" evaluation, but there clearly is something more severe. The team likely doesn't want opponents to target any particular area on his body shoud Jagr return, hence the vague injury report.'

Pens Sitting Pretty, But Still Wary of 2000 Fate

'Last year, it was Ron Tugnutt standing on his head, as the hockey cliché goes, leading the Penguins to a 2-0 lead over Philadelphia. Four games later, their season was over. Just that fast, things can turn in the Stanley Cup playoffs and the Penguins are looking to avoid a repeat of last year's fate.'

NHL's Bettman still hears about Hull's goal

'Gary Bettman swore it was only coincidence. Pure circumstance that he hadn’t been in HSBC Arena since the 1999 Stanley Cup finals.'

If past is a clue, there's hope for Game 3

Since the last seconds of Game 2 ticked down, the statistical history of the Buffalo franchise has been well documented: they have never come back to win a playoff series when trailing two games to none. That does not bode well for any Sabres' fan. However, there is a collective source of optimism to be found within the annals of Sabres history.

Sabres-Pens Game 3 "Scouting Report"

The Sabres aren't hanging by a thread yet, but the rope is certainly getting thinner with every loss.

Sabres-Pens Game 3 "Edge Matchups"

The Sabres have lost their depth, their offense and their confidence.
