Sabres Record vs. Islanders Since 2005: 12-6

Sabres Likely Goalie: Ryan Miller

Injury Report: The Islanders will be without Trent Hunter (torn pectoral) and Rick DiPietro (knee, hip).

Buffalo will be without Toni Lydman (groin) and Patrick Lalime (also groin...)

Preview Notes: This is the third meeting of the season for these two teams, each having molested the other once.

Islanders are suddenly looking strong, having won 4 in a row (and getting points in 6 straight games).

Sabres last game was that 5-1 defeat at the hands of the Tavares' and was also Ryan Miller's first regulation loss of the season. Should be a good game!
