The Buffalo Sabres are coming off a pair of wins in the Sunshine State as they prepare to host the San Jose Sharks. 21-year-old defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen is riding a three-game point streak (3-2-5) in his last 3 games, while fellow defenseman Cody Franson has goals in his last two games, adding an assist as well.
The two have been huge for the Sabres successful power play, helping the Sabres climb to 4th in the league, sitting at 25%. While the Sabres have drastically improved their powerplay, the penalty kill is still struggling with a 75.
