Oct. 19/90 – Penguins 4 @ Buffalo 4


The Pens rally from three one-goal deficits and come away with a point against the winless Sabres on the road. After taking a 4-3 lead, they let Mike Foligno slip behind the defense to beat Wendell Young at the side of the net with just under seven minutes to play. Foligno put another one into the Penguins’ cage a little while later but this one was waved off due to an offside call. 

Jaromir Jagr continues to impress, getting a goal and an assist. In a sight that would become quite familiar to Pens fans in the coming years, #68 took a pass just over the opponent’s blueline, flashed a number of dekes and buried a backhander past the goalie, in this case Darren Puppa. Coach Bob Johnson sounded a cautionary note afterwards regarding Jagr, however: “He showed a couple of flashes out there, but remember, he’s only 18. And this is only October.”
