A bit of offensive punch recently brought some relief to the Buffalo Sabres, who can get back on track by delivering another blow to an already struggling club.
The Sabres will try to rebound from a streak-ending loss tonight when they visit a Vancouver Canucks team that has lost five straight and 10 of its last 12 (7 p.m. Pacific time, Sportsnet Pacific, TSN 1040).
Buffalo (11-13-3) had lost six in a row before erupting for 17 goals while earning three victories on a four-game point streak. The surge signalled a possible end to their downward spiral, but the Sabres were again lethargic in Sunday's 4-2 loss at Edmonton.
