Last time around in Buffalo was fun.

After a rough road trip, the Detroit Red Wings turned on the jets right away, peppering the Buffalo Sabres for over 22 shots in the first period. The game ended with a two-point night for Lucas Raymond in a 4-0 win, giving Alex Nedeljkovic his first shutout as a Red Wing. A win today would secure a series sweep for the team.

This time around, the Sabres came a little more prepared.
