The Sabres are looking to snap a three game losing streak in Sunrise, Florida against the Florida Panthers tonight. The situation with the Panthers and the Sabres is unique because they share an AHL affiliate (Rochester Americans).
Sabres Notes:
Lost three straight games including two on the road against Montreal and Carolina...have not won on the road yet this season (0-3) after setting a NHL record winning 10 straight to start last season...Paul Gaustad will play after injuring his eye against Carolina...Dmitri Kalinin will miss a significant amount of time after a knee-on-knee collision with Rod Brind'Amour on Wednesday...Jaro Spacek will miss at least one more game with an upper body injury...Mike Weber was called up from Rochester and is expected to be in the lineup tonight...Andrej Sekera is expected to be in the lineup for the fourth consecutive game
Panthers Notes:
Olli Jokinen scored two goals on Wednesday night to pass Scott Mellanby as the all time leader in goals and assists in Florida Panthers history...It was Jokinen's first two goal game of the season...Florida is 4-5 on the season but 3-1 at home...Tomas Vokoun is 3-1 with a 1.75 ERA all time against the Sabres
Fast Fact:
The Sabres haven't lost four straight road games to start a season in seven years

they
better start shooting the puck more and less passing
so far
were playing like we're frustrated which they are but they need to be less tense
ryan
made that look so easy what happened on the first one
they
better do something about this foul mood he talks about and play more consistent not sloppy
do
sorry about not being on your show sunday i totally forgot it was on then i wnt on last night for it and seen it was on sunday couldn't stay awake for the hockey one sorry
Take advantage...
of this power play...they deserve better than trailing 2-1 right now
Another...
5-on-3 let's keep the power play going...it has looked good so far
Damn...
they better kill this penalty...if they fall down by two it may be trouble
see they
pass but they also shoot for the net we dont
now
were finnally skating and on the power plays we did more sooting to the boards then the net
Damn...
Vanek isn't getting any breaks. What a save by Vokoun they definitely upgraded their goaltending
have
you seen their goalie have to bend like apretzel that that at all tonight
i disagree
he hasn't been tested as much as ryan
the
end of that period proves it they start pushing and shoving when the periods over that just frustration do it with the ouck not a fight
they didn't start it...
Brian Allen hit Campbell

we
need to come up big this period and to do that they have to skate the way they were the end of the second and shoot for the net not passes to each other
That's the save...
I've been waiting for Miller to make all season! He hasn't been bad but sometimes you need a great save
YES!!!!!!
we get a break...he misses it and we score...this could change our luck
SCORE!!!!!!!!!
shorthanded and at the end of a shift...great play by Danny Paille!!!!!!
at
least that time we played more defenseive at it showed with a goal
i'm
glad i stayed awAKE for this game i wasn't sure i would
