‘By winning three straight and five out of seven, Buffalo is now ahead of the Montreal Canadiens and within two points of the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Islanders. The Sabres are three in back of the Washington Capitals and four behind the New Jersey Devils. If they stay hot, they can get by those clubs, and get to ninth place, but it’s getting to the playoff spot that’s tough. The Tampa Bay Lightning is 11 points ahead of the Sabres for the second wild card spot and the Detroit Red Wings are 12 points in front for the other wild card spot. That folks is going to take an eight to 10 game winning streak.’
