'While the Sabres would love to continue their streak, Ruff has another reason for trying to keep every competitive edge he can going into Saturday night's game. That's because the Sabres are taking on the Atlanta Thrashers, one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. The Thrashers have just one regulation loss. "Look at them. They've got 17 points. We've got 20," Ruff says, "If they win the game, they're within a point of us. That says more than any record."'
