Tonight’s game between the Buffalo Sabres and Detroit Red Wings will be the 107th meeting between these two teams. The Sabres hold a 51-42-13 edge over Detroit in the series and have been dominating at home against the Motor-City opponents winning 33 of 51 games played in Buffalo. The Red Wings hold a dubious distinction in Buffalo, winning the first ever NHL regular season game in the HSBC Arena 6-1 on September 27, 1996.
