This has been driving me nuts. It's Austin. AUSTIN. With an I. I know Auston Matthews is stuck with the first name his parents pinned on him, but geez... Auston? Nobody spells it like that. Okay, now that I've got that off my chest, the Maple Leaves have this really good rookie Matthews guy, but even with this phenom they still suck, dead last in the division and stuff. But don't get cocky.... they're only a point behind the Sabres. So this game actually means something. It could mean that the Sabres have, in fact, turned the corner and will grind these ###### down, or that the Leafs are figuring it out and are ready to start a little winning streak of their own. I honestly don't know. But the Sabres have dominated the series in Buffalo. While the Sabres have struggled at times to play well in front of their home crowd, the team has a seven-game winning streak against the Leafs in KeyBank Center. The Sabres are 17-1-1 against the Leafs in the last 19 games in Buffalo. We've all noted how Tyler Ennis has been playing better lately. Well Tyler Ennis has big points against the Leafs. Ennis has 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in 17 games against Toronto dating back to the 2011-12 season. Johan Larsson, who scored the late game-winning goal for the Sabres in their 2-1 win in Minnesota Tuesday, has six points (three goals, three assists) in six career games against the Leafs. Meanwhile Matt Moulson is looking to avoid going pointless in three straight games against Toronto for the first time in his career. Moulson has 25 points (16 goals, nine assists) in 28 games against the Leafs. So we've got lots of scoring to look forward to. Injury-wise, I still haven't heard anything about the Bogo injury, other than he's day-to-day. I don't know if the Sabres will call up someone from Rochester or what. Maybe we'll get more clarity in the morning. GO SABRES! I have to credit the Buffalo News with some of the descriptions above. I was really tired when I did this post and wasn't above a little copy-pasty.
