What to Watch
1. Founders Night
The Buffalo Sabres will celebrate Founders Night tonight to mark the anniversary of the day the Knox brothers were awarded the franchise. There will be pre-game ceremonies and the Sabres will be wearing their 50th anniversary sweaters.
2. Keep Rolling
The Sabres had a good weekend against the Toronto Maple Leafs by outplaying them and taking three of a possible four points this weekend. The struggling Devils roll into town and they need to not have a letdown prior to heading out to western Canada later this week.
