Verses: Florida Panthers
Buffalo Sabres Record: 4-1-1 (2nd in the Northeast)
Florida Panthers Record: 2-4-0 (Last in the Southeast
Sabres Record vs. Panthers Since 2005: 10-6
Sabres Likely Goalie: Ryan Miller
Panthers Likely Goalie: Scott Clemmensen
Preview Notes: The Sabres are coming off their first regulation loss of the season after losing 4-2 to the Thrashers. The four goals were the most the Sabres had allowed yet this season.
No doubt the Sabres will be looking to rebound, which could spell trouble for the Panthers. The Panthers have had a lot of trouble scoring this year with just 14 goals in 6 games (and 4 of those games came against the Flyers in a 4-2 victory for the Panthers.
With the Panthers big guns (Booth, Horton) slumping, look for the Sabres defense to eat them up. With Ryan Miller playing like he is, the Panthers are going to need each of their fourth lines clicking to come out with a victory.
Thomas Vanek is expected to return from injury tonight, and Clarke MacArthur is a game time decision, as he has the flu. Insert generic freaking out about swine flu here.
