The Chicago Blackhawks will be back in action tonight in a non-conference matchup with the Buffalo Sabres. Right now, the Blackhawks are the last opponent that a team like the Sabers wants to face. The ‘Hawks have won five of their last six, outscoring their opponents by a margin of 20-11 during that stretch. The Buffalo Sabres, on the other end, have lost five straight games, being outscored by a margin of 16-7. With both teams off Thursday night, the Blackhawks and the Sabres will be well rested and ready to fight for two more points.
This is the second and final meeting this season between these two teams this season, barring a very unlikely Stanley Cup Final matchup.
