Three Questions
1. Can the Sabres change their fortunes in Capitals games?
The Sabres have struggled against Washington, which isn't surprising since the Capitals are one of the best teams in the league right now. Buffalo lost both games in a home-and-home last month, getting outscored 7-2.
Buffalo made a bit of a surprising call-up today in Phil Varone, who has been a healthy scratch lately despite leading the team with ten goals. The Americans can only play six veterans at a time, and he's been the odd man out.
