The Buffalo Sabres march into Detroit currently playing as the hottest team in the NHL. They are enjoying an eight-game winning streak. A goaltender I had hoped the Detroit Red Wings considered in the offseason over Bernier is Carter Hutton. He has won seven starts in a row.
Hutton is expected to have the evening off in favor of Linus Ullmark. Ullmark has been no slouch himself this season recording a 4-0-1 record on the season with a 2.65 goals against average, and a 922 save percentage.
Jimmy Howard will return back between the pipes tonight.
