Smith from Rochester (AHL) UPCOMING GAMES Saturday, Jan. 5: Buffalo at Boston, 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 8: New Jersey at Buffalo, 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. : Buffalo at Carolina, 7: p.m. Saturday, Jan. : Tampa Bay at Buffalo, 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. : Buffalo at Edmonton, 9 p.m. TONIGHT S GAME PANTHERS at SABRES This is the third of four meetings between the Sabres and Panthers this season. Last meeting: Florida defeated Buffalo 5- in Buffalo on Dec. 8, 8 Next meeting: Thuesday, Feb. 9 in Florida The Sabres are -6- in their last games vs. the Panthers; -7- at home. This is the 99th game all-time between Buffalo and Florida; Buffalo has a 8--9 series record. THIS DAY IN SABRES HISTORY The Sabres are -5-5 all-time on January. January, 97: Rick Martin opens the scoring and then scores twice more to earn his fifth career hat trick as the Sabres dispatch the Penguins 6-. January, 99: Alexander Mogilny scores twice (and assists on Brad May s overtime goal), stretching his goal streak to eight games to tie a franchise record. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW The Sabres are 7-- against the Atlantic Division this season, including a -- record at home. Buffalo entered play Wednesday ranked fifth in the NHL with a penalty kill percentage of 8.8 percent this season and ranked first during the month of December with a 9.7 percent success rate. Jack Eichel s 8 multi-point games this season tied him for second-most in the league entering play Wednesday and have already matched his single-season high. With no wins in their last seven games against Florida, Buffalo needs a win tonight to avoid the team s first-ever eight-game winless streak against the Panthers.

9 Sam Reinhart has 5 points (8+7) in 5 career games against the Panthers, including five multi-point games and points in each of the last five meetings (+). His point-per-game rate against Florida ties his output against Nashville (6+ in 7 GP) for his best against any NHL team. Jeff Skinner has recorded eight points (6+) in his last seven games against Florida. Carter Hutton is -- in four career appearances against the Panthers with a.9 save percentage and a. goals-against average. HOME COOKING Buffalo enters tonight s game with a -5- (.675) record at home. The team s.675 points percentage at home is tied for ninth in the NHL before Wednesday s games and would tie as the Sabres th-best home record ever, and would be their best since the season (7--,.7). COMEBACK KIDS The Sabres are 6-- this season when trailing after two periods. Their six wins when trailing after minutes ties for second-most in the league and their. win percentage in those games ranks fourth. Buffalo s six wins when trailing after two have already surpassed last season s total and leave the team three third-period comebacks shy of the franchise record of nine set in the 5-6 season. NOT TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT The Sabres are --6 in one-goal games so far this season. Buffalo last won more than half of its one-goal games in a season in - (-9-). The team s current.55 winning percentage in one-goal games would be the 6th-best mark in franchise history and would be the Sabres best record in one-goal games since 6-7 (5-9-7,.6). WORKING OVERTIME The Sabres are 8-6 in games that have been tied after regulation this season, including a 5-5 record in overtime and a - record in shootouts. Their five overtime wins have already matched their overtime win total from last season (5-) and their three shootout wins are the team s highest total since -5 (8-5). Jeff Skinner entered play Sunday tied for the league lead with three overtime goals this season. Skinner s total through 5 games matches the Sabres single-season record shared by Daniel Briere (6-7) and Derek Roy (9-) and ties him for th-most career overtime goals in franchise history. SAM I AM Sam Reinhart has recorded 5 points (8+7) in his last games, including each of his career-high multi-point games this season. His assists this season have already matched his previous career high. The Sabres are 6-5- this season when Reinhart records at least one point and 7--6 (.8) in his career when he records at least two. DAH-LEAN ON ME Entering play Wednesday, Rasmus Dahlin led rookie defensemen and tied for third among all NHL rookies with points (+6) this season. With his th point in his 7th game on Dec. vs. Anaheim, he became the fourth-fastest 8-year-old defenseman in NHL history to reach the -point mark, trailing only Phil Housley (8 GP), Ray Bourque ( GP) and Aaron Ekblad ( GP). Only nine defensemen in NHL history have recorded more points before their 9th birthdays than Dahlin s Dahlin s totals put him on pace for points this season. It would rank as the eighth-most by a rookie defenseman since the 5-6 season and would trail only Phil Housley (57 points in 98-8) for most ever by a defenseman before his 9th birthday.

10 LEADING THE WAY Since Jack Eichel, Jeff Skinner and Sam Reinhart began playing together on Nov. vs. Tampa Bay, the Sabres have gone -7- and gotten a goal from at least one of the three in all but four of the team s games. Each of the three has played at or near a point-per-game pace in the games since they began playing together as a line: Eichel: points (+9), plus- rating Reinhart: 6 points (6+), plus-9 rating Skinner: points (+6), plus-5 rating All three are currently on pace to shatter their personal bests in points on the strength of career-best production at even strength that ranks them each among the best even-strength players in the league this season: Player/Season GP G A PTS ES G ES A ES P Eichel Career High (7-8) Eichel Eichel 8-9 (Pace) Skinner Career High (6-7) Skinner 8-9 Skinner 8-9 (Pace) Reinhart Career High (7-8) Reinhart Reinhart (Pace) MAKING HISTORY At his current pace, Jack Eichel would finish the season with the third-most even-strength points ever recorded by a Sabre, trailing only Pat LaFontaine (8) and Mogilny (78) in 99-9, and would trail only LaFontaine s franchise-record 5 even-strength assists that season. He would also become the first Sabre to record more than 95 points since the 99-9 season (LaFontaine/Mogilny/Hawerchuk). Jeff Skinner is currently on pace to tie for the third-most goals in Sabres history, trailing only Mogilny in 99-9 (76) and Danny Gare in (56). His even-strength goals would finish behind only Mogilny s even-strength total from 99-9 (9) and Rick Martin s in 97-7 for most in team history.
