Sabres Look to Capitalize on Struggling Flames in Home Matchup

BUFFALO, NY – The Buffalo Sabres (7-8-4) will face off against the Calgary Flames (5-13-3) tonight at KeyBank Center, aiming to exploit the Flames’ recent struggles. The Sabres, who have a strong home record of 6-3-2, are looking to build on their momentum and climb out of the Eastern Conference standings’ basement.

A key factor for the Sabres’ success will be their ability to score. The team is undefeated when scoring more than one goal in a game, a trend they hope to continue against a vulnerable Calgary team. Forward Tage Thompson’s recent goal-scoring streak provides a boost to their offensive efforts.

While the Sabres await the return of injured forwards Zack Benson and Jason Zucker, the current roster needs to maintain the team effort displayed in their recent games.

The Flames, currently languishing at the bottom of the league with five losses in their last six games, are presenting the Sabres with a golden opportunity to secure a much-needed win. Having played and travelled last night, the Sabres will seek to jump on the Flames early and prevent any potential comeback.

Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 PM.
