The Buffalo Sabres will host their final home game of 2016 against a bitter enemy tonight as the team begins a home-and-home set against the Boston Bruins.
If the Sabres are going to make a push to salvage their season, now would be a good time to start. Buffalo owns 34 points and then 25th spot in the league, but with only 6 points separating this team from the Bruins (15th in the league and 8th in the Eastern Conference), picking up 3 if not 4 points over these next two games is crucial.
Trying to figure out these Sabres has proved to be an impossible task – one night, the team can’t score against the lowly New York islanders; the next night, they put on an offensive show in Detroit.
