1. Back-to-Back
Sometimes the National Hockey League scheduling gods do you favors and give you a nice stretch of comfortable games.
Other times, the luck of the draw gives you the league’s two best teams back-to-back.
After a 5-3 loss to the Eastern Conference-leading Florida Panthers, the Buffalo Sabres play host to the Metropolitan-leading Carolina Hurricanes.
Yikes, good luck.
