:sabres: @ :sens: Preview
SABRES (3-5-1) at SENATORS (5-3-1)
TV: MSG-B, SNET-E, TVA
Season series: This is the first of four meetings between the Northeast Division foes. The teams split the six-game series in 2011-12, with the Sabres scoring a 4-3 shootout victory in the series finale behind a 36-save performance from goalie Ryan Miller.
Big story: Both teams are coming off consecutive losses, but Ottawa has yet to lose in regulation (3-0-1) on home ice this season. The Senators, who will open a four-game homestand beginning with the Sabres, are sixth in the Eastern Conference standings with 11 points and the Sabres are currently 11th with seven points. The Senators have obviously had to adjust to life without top center Jason Spezza, who was diagnosed with a herniated disk late last month and remains out indefinitely.
