With a day off on Sunday and a practice on Monday, the Maple Leafs have left their successful 3-1-0 Western road trip and returned home for a third date of four with the Buffalo Sabres.
The Sabres have found a way to stay ahead of the Leafs during their 6-4-0 record in their last 10 games with a 5-1-4 record of their own. That’s points in seven one-goal games for the Sabres.
Jack Eichel, and his line with Victor Olofsson and Sam Reinhart, have been running hot this season and have been one of the best lines in the league offensively.
