Buffalo Sabres

The Sabres absorbed their sixth straight loss on Sunday in Dallas. There are a lot of things to be frustrated about, but members of the team are refusing to dwell too much on the negative side of their journey. Tage Thompson said that despite the loss, Buffalo has found some sort of silver lining in their performance. “Obviously, the results aren’t what we want, but I feel like we’re piecing things together right now, and we’ve just got to find a way to have consistency,” the center said. “It’s got to be that next step for us.” It’s obviously a long journey ahead for the Sabres. After all, the team remains as one of the bottom teams in the league with only 40 points in 54 games. 

Players to watch: T. Thompson RW (G 22, A 18, PTS 40), J. Skinner LW (G 20, A 17, PTS 37). R. Dahlin D (G 8, A 26, PTS 34).

Toronto Maple Leafs

The mission is clear for Toronto at this stage of the season. With the postseason fast approaching, the Maple Leafs are slowly shifting to their playoff mode as it translated in their most recent performances. The team has now won three straight games and is looking to make it four at home against a reeling Buffalo squad. The Atlantic Division supremacy is still within reach for the Maple Leafs. The opportunity to top the group gives Toronto the extra motivation to give their 100 percent every game. 

Players to watch: A. Matthews C (G 37, A 31, PTS 68), M. Marner C (G 21, A 35, PTS 56), J. Tavares C (G 17, A 33, PTS 50).
