The Ducks begin a crucial four-game road trip tonight against the Buffalo Sabres at First Niagara Center. Anaheim should have plenty of jump, too, since the team has played only once in 10 days. Currently sitting in last place in the Pacific Division, but only three points out of a playoff spot, the Ducks can climb right back into the mix over the next week.
It’s a win-the-week mentality for the Ducks, as it’s always been, so the focus right now is all on the Sabres, who enter the game with a 13-16-3 record (29 points), good for seventh place in the Atlantic Division and 14th in the Eastern Conference.
