:bruins: @ :sabres: Preview
BRUINS (33-16-2) at SABRES (22-24-6)
TV: NBCSP (HD), TSN2
LAST 10: Boston 5-4-1; Buffalo 4-5-1.
Season Series: Third of six meetings between these Northeast Division rivals. The Bruins earlier beat the Sabres twice in the span of 12 days, as Tyler Seguin scored twice and added an assist in a 6-2 win on Nov. 12 in Boston, while Benoit Pouliot's goal in the fifth round of a shootout proved decisive in a 4-3 victory on Nov. 23 in Buffalo.
Big Story: In danger of losing three straight for the first time since their Stanley Cup hangover-plagued month of October, the Bruins responded with a decisive win in Washington on Sunday and will now look to string back-to-back victories together, something Boston hasn't accomplished in its last dozen games. The Sabres, meanwhile, have a ways to go in order to climb back into the playoff picture, but their rally against the Islanders on Saturday night was a good starting point.
