Sabres Search For Back-to-Back Wins

After edging out the Carolina Hurricanes by a 1-0 score at the RBC Center on Friday night, the Sabres return home to host the Phoenix Coyotes for the only meeting between the teams this season.

The Sabres won the lone meeting last season, thanks to Drew Stafford’s overtime winner and a 33 save night from Ryan Miller.

The Coyotes are in the midst of a five game road trip, but had Friday off. The Sabres will have to endure the challenge of playing in back-to-back games in order to win tonight.

If the are able to pull off a victory tonight, the Sabres have an opportunity to take first place in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia, who are one point ahead, are visiting Winnipeg this afternoon. It would take some scoreboard help from Philadelphia and Washington, but it is a possibility.

Jhonas Enroth will be get the start for Buffalo after his 34 save shutout against Carolina last night.

“After a game when you play like that, you just want to get out there again,” Enroth said. “I’m happy I got the start right after that game.”

Mike Smith will likely get the start in net for Phoenix. Smith is 8-3-3 on the season with a 2.17 goals against and a .934 save percentage. Smith made 40 saves last game against the Flyers, but the Coyotes fell 2-1.

Faceoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. tonight at the First Niagara Center.

    I keep all bolts locked at all times. When I sewohr my little one 20 months is in a play area with the baby gates and is entertained with a movie and toys and snacks. She knows how to turn door knobs and it wouldn't take long for her to try to reach a lock. I don't answer the door to people because it's usually crazy people. I've had a guy knock at my door at 4 am high on drugs trying to ask me to hang out with him and get high. I don't smoke or drink or do drugs and didn't know that guy at all. He kept trying to say he knew me. At the time my little girl was only a few months old. There was another time a crack head lady was knocking at my door saying she was selling cookies. She didn't have any cookies in her hands and I wouldn't buy them from crackheads anyway. I told her she had the wrong place and to go away. Religious people knocking on my door annoy the shit out of me. Stop bothering people. Leave a brochure and if I'm interested I'll call your church or go. Otherwise leave people alone. In my apartments you have to be careful. There are people on drugs, shady pedophile looking people, people that just don't care about anyone, etc. There used to be these two little girls from Brasil. One was 8 and one was 3. They would walk all over the apartments alone and the 8 year old had a very trashy mouth and would say inappropriate things to kids and adults both. One time she came up to me and she had her little sister with her. The little sister was just in some panties and they had been walking all over the complex! I told the older girl she should take the little one to go put clothes on and to look out for her little sister while they are walking around the apartments.

I founded Buffalo Hockey Central in 2008 and have poured hours and hours into this site. Luckily, we have a great team of writers and designers who have helped keep this up and running despite a ton of out-of-pocket costs. We do this because we enjoy it, and we're desperate to see the Sabres win the Cup someday, but they have to make the playoffs first.
