About the Sabres: Despite being tied for the bottom of the Atlantic Division, the Sabres have won three in a row – including comeback overtime wins Saturday at Montreal and Tuesday at Nashville – and six of their last 10 games. One of those victories came Jan. 16 in Buffalo against the Stars when Dallas’ Kari Lehtonen allowed a goal 19 seconds into the game.
