So, The Sabres are 7-2-1 in their last ten games. But the team can't string together more than 2 wins in a row. The Sabres have three games left before the All-Star break. Two games against the Islanders and one against the Senators. Two teams below the Sabres in the standings so they should be easy wins, but the last time the Sabres played the Islanders they lost 5-3. The last game against the Senators was a 1-0 win. The Sabres have also won 3 of the last 3 games against the Senators. One of those games was in the preseason though.
The Sabres have a few hot forwards right now (no Homo), Thomas Vanek has 8 points in the last 4 games and 14 points in his last 9 games. We also have Tyler Ennis who has 6 points in his last 3 games, Jason Pominville has 5 point in his last 3 games and two goals in the pat two games, and Connolly somehow has points in his last two games in a row also.
A forward we need to watch out for is John Tavares, he had a hattrick in the last outing and with Okposo back from injury we need to contain those two players. Fortunately for us they are coming off a hard fought 2-1 loss to the Washington Capitals so both teams played yesterday. Also Dipietro is back in the net for this loss. The Islanders are 4-5-1 in their last 10 but coming off of two straight losses and have lost 5 of their last 6, their lone win was against the Sabres.
Well for the position the Sabres are in, they just need to keep winning and getting points. The Sabres are 7 points back from Atlanta but have 3 games in hand, and are 5 points back from Carolina who won yesterday against the Rangers but have one game in hand. Florida is one point behind Buffalo so that is another team we need to watch out for.
LETS GO BUFFALO!!!
