After a long break, the Sabres should be well-rested and ready to go tonight against New York.
"They came to work this week," Nolan said after practice Wednesday. "We worked on a few things and we skated them pretty hard. There's no complaints. We needed the time. This was a great time for us to work on a few things, especially in the defensive zone and communication, and talking and getting to know each other. It was a good week."
King Henrik and the Rangers are in town, but are just 5-5 in the last 10 games.
I chatted with Jan Levine, the Rangers blogger here on HB and here is her prediction for tonight's game: I expect Hank will have a strong game on the heels of his extension. Callahan loves playing for the hometown crowd, so a goal from him would not surprise me. The Nash/Kreider combination will each score one, so predicting a 3-0 or 3-1 final, just because Ryan Miller will likely stand on his head again.
Brayden McNabb is out tonight, after being down to get some ice time. The Sabres bring him back up and now his is scratched. Jamie McBain looks to be in the lineup.
I will be running a live chat tonight through my own website, SabresHockeyCentral.com. You are more than welcome to head on over and join. I won't be posting it on here.
Remember Dmitri Kalinin? Watch him get embarrassed on this play:
