Puck Drop: 7:30 pm EST | Joe Louis Arena | Detroit, MI
Three Questions
1. Can the Sabres take advantage of a suddenly weak Red Wings PK?
Since losing Drew Miller to a broken jaw, the Detroit penalty kill is a dreadful 66% over their past four games. The Sabres power play is tied for second best in the NHL (well whattaya know) at 23.7%, so this should be a match up the Sabres can exploit tonight.
2. Will the Sabres be able to get the first goal?
When scoring first, the Red Wings have a dominant 15-2-4 record (as opposed the Sabres 7-5) and when leading after one, the Wings are 7-0-1.
