Can the Sabres come back with some more home wins?


It seems like the Sabres have found their strides...at home at least. Two good home wins by this club is seemingly putting this team on the right track. But for how long? They beat the dominant Capitals and the somewhat powerful Canucks, both of these games in overtime. So it seems like maybe their home dominance might have to wait until they actually get a home win.
The Sabres take their game on the road by visiting the nation's capital in a rematch with the Capitals. I don't expect that the Sabres will actually take this game because the Capitals are too good on the power play and especially in offensive production at home.
But that is the Sabres only game on the road until November 27. So it seems like the Sabres can actually come back, but their home schedule gets a little tough after the visit to Washington. The LA Kings come calling, then Tampa Bay, then Pittsburgh.
Those are some pretty elite clubs, especially the Kings, who have climbed to the top of the Western Conference. It'll be very hard for the Sabres to nail through the Kings' goaltender Jonathan Quick. Then Tampa Bay has the very experienced Steven Stamkos who can push the goal into the back of the net.
Ryan Miller's going to have to be good these next few games because they're going to have a big struggle these next few games. So far, the Sabres are on the right track. But can they dominate their next few games and ride to the top of the Northeast Conference? Stay tuned.
