Three Questions
1. Can Buffalo stop Ovechkin?
Ovie’s going to have good numbers against any team, but he’s averaging over a point per game against the Sabres with 41 points (26+15) in 39 games against the blue and gold, and scored a hat trick on Wednesday. Watch out for #8.
2. Where da goals at?
After scoring four in a miracle performance against Calgary, the Sabres were back to their one-goal selves in a shootout loss to Detroit. Washington has given up the second-fewest goals against in the NHL with 42 in 19 games.
