Florida at Buffalo

The Sabres were out of the gate strong to start the season, but have lost their way of late winning just two of their last eight. Signs point to change after a four game stretch scoring just once in three of them. They have scored 7 in their last two, getting a win and suffering a loss in overtime. They have also come up big of late after surrendering 5 goals or more in their last game, taking four straight. The Panthers have done well on the road this season, and their last three overall show all wins, but have three big things going against them here. They played it on the line last night vs. a Boston team that had been 14-1 coming in and they beat them 2-0. Secondly, not only are they off an emotional win, but they have to come right back on no rest, where they are a dismal 29-64 in their last 93. Now, they have to face a hungry Sabres team that has owned them in this building, holding a 17-8-2 mark in the last 27 played here. Play on Buffalo.
