Brian Dumoulin let go of a wrist shot from beyond the left faceoff circle and beat Carter Hutton, whose line of sight was blocked by a well-positioned Teddy Blueger in front of the net.
It might not have been the most memorable goal the Pittsburgh Penguins scored in a 5-0 win at KeyBank Center on Thursday night, but it was the one that stood out to Jason Pominville as an example of where the Sabres were lacking in a third straight shutout loss.
"That's winning hockey," Pominville said. "That's what we got to get back to. We've got to have more pride to get to that area, get our nose dirty. I mean, it's a tough league to score in. You've got to pay a price to get to the net and we got to get pucks there. Right now, we're definitely not doing it enough."
