The Bruins will begin tonight's matchup trailing Montreal by 3 points in the Northeast. Beating the Sabres is a must if Boston hopes to remain ahead of a Toronto and Ottawa. The Leafs and Sens are hot on the B's heels with 44 points a piece, while Boston is clinging to the second spot with 46 points.
This meeting will mark the fourth of five scheduled contests between the two sides. Buffalo has won two of three against the B's already this season. The Sabres have matched the Bruins physicality and have made things quite difficult on the Black-and-Gold.
Boston is 4-5-1 in its last ten. Buffalo is 4-3-3.
The Bruins have been digging themselves early holes of late and that is a trend that needs to be halted immediately. Nathan Horton has two goals in his last two games. Aside from him, the team has shown little to no life for upwards of two weeks now.
Look for the Bruins to bounce back and stop the bleeding. If not heads may roll in Beantown.
