The Buffalo Sabres will look to continue their new-found winning streak tonight as they take on the Nashville Predators in Nashville. Buffalo, coming off a 4-1 win which saw them halt a 6 game losing streak, looks to exact some revenge on a Predators team they dominated last time around, yet still lost 3-2 against. The Sabres, 7-1 after leading going into period 3, will look to score early and gain the confidence a young team seems to desperately need. Combine that with Nashville's own problems, and the first goal could be the most important one. Nashville is coming off a 3-2 OT loss in Philly on Friday night, so at least both teams are playing the second game in back to backs. Prior to the Sabres game, the Preds had been shutout for 7 consecutive periods, although that quickly changed against us. Interestingly enough, the Flyers are actually worse than we are at scoring goals than we are, yet still managed 3 against the Predators, against Rinne no less. Look for Hutton to get the start, with the back to backs and him playing well against us last time. Not sure who the Sabres will send out, but I'm betting Johnson, given his play tonight and Ullmark getting pulled against the Preds last time.
