Game Notes

Mikael Tellqvist will make just his second start since joining the Sabres. He has a 3.30 GAA in three appearances with the Sabres.
Tellqvist stopped 13 shots in relief of Lalime on Saturday night.
Ryan Miller has been practicing and appears headed for a start this weekend. I would play him in Montreal but it looks like Toronto.
Bucky Gleason has a story about the Sabres top six forwards. For once, Bucky is right on the money.
The Sabres last win was against the Florida Panthers at the HSBC Arena just about two weeks ago.
