Stat to Remember

Buffalo Sabres:  Have not lost a regulation game on the road this season.  The Sabres are 3-0-2 with the a shootout loss in Atlanta (October 18) and in Colorado (October 25).

New Jersey Devils:  The Devils aren't the same team defensively that they were in the past but they still thrive on scoring first.  The Devils are 4-0-1 when they score the first goal of the game.  On the flip side, they are 3-2-1 when they allow their opponent to score the first goal.

Of course we hope you will join us in the opne thread on Saturday night and don't forget to get your SPG picks in.  If you haven't signed up yet head over and do it now because there is now an opportunity to win prizes.
