Watch out NHL, the Sabres are HOT and gaining momentum in the Wild Card Chase. Buffalo is now winners of 6-straight games (some of which have come against quality opponents) and only sit 6 points back from the second wild card spot.
Tage Thompson continues to lead the way for Buffalo’s offense, scoring his 27th goal of the season (2nd most in the league), which other players are also stepping up (Alex Tuch & Kyle Okposo) this past week.
Here are the game scores:
12/27: @ CBJ – Postponed due to weather
12/29: DET 3 BUF 6
3 Stars of the Game:
1 Star- Kyle Okposo (BUF)
2 Star- Casey Middlestadt (BUF)
3 Star- Jeff Skinner (BUF)
12/31: BUF 4 BOS 3 (OT)
3 Stars of the Game:
1 Star- Alex Tuch (BUF)
2 Star- Brad Marchand (BOS)
3 Star- Patrice Bergeron (BOS)
Buffalo will look to keep this winning streak going on New Year’s Day when they travel to Ottawa to take on the Senators.
