Game Notes
BUF
?Anderson (6-7-0, 3.01 GAA, .905 Sv%) will likely start for the Sabres
?The Sabres have lost 6 straight games and have dropped to 4th last in the league
?One of the only bright spots for the Sabres this season has been the play of their top line over the past couple of months. Alex Tuch, acquired in the Eichel trade, made his season and team debut on December 29th and has 22 points in 22 games. Centre Tage Thompson, acquired almost 4 years ago in the Ryan O'Reilly trade, is in the midst of a breakout season and has 22 points in his last 20 games. And lastly Jeff Skinner is showing signs of life with 11 goals and 20 points in his last 22 games
TOR
?Mrazek (9-4-0, 3.07 GAA, .895 Sv%) will start for the Leafs, this will be the first time he's started in consecutive games as a Leaf
?The Leafs continue to tinker with their defence with Muzzin out. Sandin looks like he'll shot a shot alongside Rielly on the top pair now, while Dermott comes in for Liljegren
