Of these players, Simon-Agozzino-Legare and Poulin-Lafferty-Aston-Reese are possible line combinations based on what was used in training camp scrimmages. Joseph and Marino, and Johnson and Ruhwedel played together on defense in the scrimmages.

Sabres coach Ralph Krueger told reporters on Sunday afternoon that their lineup will be decided in a coaches meeting tonight.

The Penguins will hold a morning skate at the Lemieux Complex in Cranberry at 11:30 a.m. before traveling to State College. The non-game group of players will practice at 10 a.m. on the Lemieux Complex's second rink. Both sessions are free and open to the public.

I'll have coverage of the practice and morning skate, and Dave Molinari will be in State College for the game.

The game will be streamed on the Penguins' website, as will their home game against Detroit on Sept. 25. The games will only be able to be viewed by those in the Pittsburgh region (or those that know how to bypass those blackouts), per NHL streaming regulations.
