"Once we got to this area I didn't know where I was going," Rodrigues laughed, nodding to the visiting team's section of the hallway. "It was a little bit weird.

The Penguins have lost to the Sabres in both games between the two teams this season, falling 3-1 in the season opener and 5-2 last month. In what Rodrigues remembers from what made the Sabres so successful in those games, he thinks the key for the Penguins tonight is going to be being strong on the puck in the neutral zone.
