The Buffalo Sabres will face their former head coach Lindy Ruff and the New Jersey Devils for the first time this season today. This is the first of eight matchups between the Devils and Sabres this season. The Devils (3-3-1) are only one point behind the Sabres (3-3-2) in the East Division standings early in the season.
Buffalo is coming off a pretty successful week as they went 2-0-1 over the last seven days.
