After a 4 day break, with most of it being in the sunshine state, the Buffalo Sabres look to get back on the winning track when they take the ice against the Florida panthers tonight.
On Saturday night, the Sabres hot streak seemed to run out of gas at the hands of an even hotter Atlanta Thrashers team. While the final score showed a 4-2 advantage for the Thrashers, buffalo kept it a lot closer than the stat sheet displayed.
Atlanta made the most of their limited chances and took advantage of backup Patrick Lalime who started his first game of the season in order to spare Ryan Miller from needing to play back to back nights.
Tonight, the Sabres face the Panthers who have 2 wins on the year. The most recent coming Friday night when former Devils’ netminder Scott Clemmensen stopped 25 of 27 Flyer shots in his first start of the season.
If the Sabres hope to get back on the winning track, they need to hope that the Panthers don’t go with Clemmensen, as he was 2-0 last year in his only meetings against Buffalo.
Faceoff is 7:30 from Sunrise.
