Tonight the Buffalo Sabres face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning for a 7:30 pm puck drop. The Sabres are looking to extend their winning streak to 3 games. I am very impressed with their effort of late. In the last 4 games, they have skated away with 7 points! Maybe their New Year’s Resolution was to play as a motivated team, as opposed to tanking.
In the Atlantic Division, the Lightning are sitting in 6th place, while the Sabres are in 7th. There is only 1 point separating the two teams. With that being said—Captain Obvious here—if the Sabres win tonight, they can leap frog ahead of the Lightning.
