Toronto is home and hungry for a win after dropping four in a row, by one goal each time. This is the third straight home game of a four-game homestand for the rebuilding Maple Leafs. They face a Buffalo team that is #28 in goals scored and #16 in goals allowed, off a 3-2 home loss to Minnesota. Buffalo took a 2-1 lead in the second period, but gave up a goal with under six minutes left in the third, and let another point slip away in a shootout. The Sabres are on a 28-78 run on the road and 41-90 vs. a team with a losing record. In addition, the home team is 59-28-5 in the last 92 meetings, and the Sabres are 1-11 at Toronto. Play Toronto.
