Vs.
Buffalo enters tonight's game winning their pas three of 4 games. They have points in 4 straight games and this game will conclude their West coast trip. this game also marks the halfway point of the season, and Buffalo holds a 17-18-5 record and are currently 10th in the Eastern conference with 39 points, 8 back from 8th place and 5 back from 9th place. Phoenix has 46 points and sit in 10th place and only one point from 8th place in the Western conference.
Buffalo won both meetings last year between these clubs the first a 2-0 win, the second was a 7-2 win. Both Phoenix and Buffalo are coming off shutout wins during their last game and look to improve that.
Lindy Ruff has also earned his 500th victory as a coach, and became only the second coach to earn those wins with one team. Thomas Vanek leads the team with 16 goals and has a goal in his last three games. Jason Pominville just had his 5 game points streak broken the last game and looks to start a new streak. He has also had 16 points in the team's last 16 games. Drew Stafford also has 6 points in his last three games and looks to extend his scoring streak tonight, he is currently second on the team with 13 goals scored and has 21 points in 25 games this year.
Vanek has 30 points in 40 games, Pominville has 20 points in 30 games, Connolly has 17 points in 28 games and Stafford has 21 points in 25 games. These are the players we are banking on to take up the slack from Roy's injury who had 35 points in 35 games played.
Lets us all cheer loudly for the Sabres in our own homes, as no one will be at the game, if we cheer loud enough, maybe they can hear us from the distance.

As I said in the GDT, the call on Rivet was horseshit. The Bruins player was holding onto Rivet's stick like it was the last fucking raft on the Titanic.
