It will pretty hard to avoid a letdown after that incredible comeback win yesterday, and it being the 3rd game in 4 nights — but if they want to make the playoffs, this is the kind of game that they need to show up for and grind out the W.

Happy New Year, 'Spacers!

It must be noted that the last time these teams met, the Sens won. But it must also be noted that the Muel was not on the ice. Boushh was on one leg. It was also the game in which Comrie got injured courtesy of Dahlin planting Joseph right into his own goalie. Season series tied 1-1. Both teams believe these are the games they should win.

Both teams on B2B.  Ottawa blew a 2 goal lead and lost to Detroit.   Sabres overcome 3-2 deficit and penalties to win in OT.  
 

This is a big game.  We will see how much mental stamina they have.

Ottawa gets in the crease better than most teams in the NHL.  The Sabres are not good at clearing the front of the net, in fact I dare say they leave opponents between the D and the tendy as part of their strategy (still boggles my mind).  This is why I think they have troubles with Ottawa.

Time to step it up.  Gotta get these wins if you want a shot at the playoffs.

By my calculations we cannot lose again if we want to win the cup

Without precise calculations you could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that would end your Cup-run real quick, wouldn't it?

Also: the math checks out. 66-14-2 would qualify for the playoffs and 16-0 in the playoffs wins the Cup.

Skinner, Peterka, or Dahlin with a goal 

Good call on JJP. The kid line was definitely worn down during the 5 wins leading into the holiday+blizzard break. In those 5 wins they combined for 1G,3A. They got rested and looked dangerous again against Boston. JJP-Cozens-Quinn gets at least 1 goal today and probably 4 points between them.

I noticed both this game and the Bahston game were on the road.  Isn't it usual that if a team plays on consecutive nights, that one of the two games is on home ice?

Interesting they picked Jost as today's poster boy.
