Dallas Stars at Buffalo Sabres

While it might be too little, too late for the Sabres, don't tell them that. Buffalo is 10 points back from the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference in what has been a devastating season where expectations were extremely high. The Sabres started the season well but a horrible two-month slump has knocked them way back in the standings. The are 4-0-1 over their last five games however and they are coming off their most lopsided win of the season, a 6-0 shutout of Boston so the confidence is back.

Dallas is coming off a win last night in Columbus which really isn't saying a lot as the Blue Jackets are the worst team in the NHL with a mere 36 points. The Stars are fighting for a playoff spot as they are two points behind Phoenix for eighth place in the Western Conference so every game is important but this is not a good spot tonight. They are 4-6 in their last 10 road games and they have lost four straight meetings in Buffalo while losing five of the last six overall in the series.

The problem for the Stars is that they played last night. Dallas is 0-8-1 this season when playing with no rest which includes a 0-4-0 record when coming off a win. The Stars have been outscored 17-7 in those four losses and three of those games are the same scenario tonight where they came off a road win the previous night. They last won back-to-back games on the road during a season-high three-game road winning streak which took place in late October and early November.

The Sabres are coming off a season's best performance on offense and they could get a big boost with the return of left wing Thomas Vanek who has been cleared after not playing since January 31st. Vanek is tied with Jason Pominville with a team-leading 19 goals and his 41 points are second to Pominville. Dallas is allowing 2.85 gpg on the road and its 79.4 percent penalty kill is one of the worst in the league. The Stars are 1-7 in their last eight games after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. 10* (52) Buffalo Sabres

Washington Capitals @ New York Rangers Monday April 30, 2012 7:35 pm

Nashville Predators @ Phoenix Coyotes Friday April 27, 2012 7:00 pm
