The Buffalo Sabres are no doubt looking for a win tonight as they face the Tampa Bay Lightning. That could prove to be quite a challenge, as the Lightning have opened their season winning three of their first five games.
The Lightning are currently tied for second in the Eastern Conference with six points, along with Florida, Detroit, Ottawa and the New York Rangers. The only team with more points: Montreal, who’s gone undefeated in five games. The Lightning have started off the year with a plus-3 goal differential.
The Sabres have won one of four games so far this season, with a minus-4 goal differential at this point.
