The Buffalo Sabres are coming off of a recent 2-1 overtime loss against the Montreal Canadiens, and they are looking to get back into the win column. Their last few games have been average at best, but they had a glimmer of hope just last week.
Last Tuesday the Buffalo Sabres defeated the Washington Capitals 3-1 at Key Bank Center, and it was a game where they held the Capitals high flying offensive talents in check.
Alex Ovechkin did manage to score a goal, but he, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Nick Backstrom, and TJ Oshie were held silent otherwise.
