Preview Notes:
- First meeting this year for these divisional foes
- The Maple Leafs have not been the sure win they were earlier in the season these past 4 games. Doesn't mean they've been good, but hey they're only one point behind the Panthers!
- Sabres on 5 game win streak against Northeast opponents
- Maple Leafs have already given up and said just to throw another win and shutout on Ryan Miller's record
- Buffalo may be having concussion problems: Henrik Tallinder said rookie Tyler Myers is comparable to Zdeno Chara... skill wise.
- Toronto... surprisingly leads the league on the power play at 30.77%
- Toronto is also the worst on the penalty kill... 63.41%. Not surprising.
