Game Time: 10:00 AM, NHLN, FS-W
The Kings haven’t won in Buffalo since 2003. You’re probably reading this on a device that didn’t exist yet (the iPhone was released in 2007). It is a very long, very miserable streak, particularly considering how awful some of the recent iterations of the Buffalo Sabres have been.
This year’s version of the Sabres is bad, too, dead last in the East, losing six of their last ten games. And they’re without Jack Eichel, who’s out with a high ankle sprain.
And yet, their four wins recently came against the Lightning (first in the league), the Bruins (third), the Islanders (currently in a wild card spot), and the Canucks (they are a team that exists).
