What to Watch
1. Another Backup
The Sabres will see another backup goaltender tonight. The Flyers are starting Alex Lyon who has spent all of this season in the AHL. Both of their top goaltenders (Michal Neuvirth and Brian Elliot) are out with injuries.
2. Seventh Heaven
Buffalo will look to keep their winning streak alive back at home. A win tonight would make it seven straight and it would be the first time they’ve put together that type of winning streak since 2006.
3. Party Night
Tonight is known as the biggest party night of the year. The day before Thanksgiving games always seem to have a little energy to them for the Sabres. It should be no different tonight as we’re anticipating an electric vibe in KeyBank Center tonight. This could easily be the most anticipated home game the Sabres have had in a few years.
