Buffalo Sabres News & Notes:

The Buffalo Sabres are playing .500 hockey and sit just outside the playoff picture behind an up-and-down Boston Bruins team.

Tage Thompson has 11 goals on the season, leading the team and headed toward the top of the NHL leaderboards.

Anaheim Ducks News & Notes:

Anaheim was looking to start this season on a better foot and begin to take steps toward playoff contention. That hasn’t come to fruition, and the annual trade chatter has begun to pick up.

Players To Watch:

Buffalo Sabres

JJ Peterka is sitting just two points behind Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch for the team lead in points. If he’s able to maintain this pace, he could set a new career highs in points.

Anaheim Ducks

Trevor Zegras has been at the center of trade speculation for the last year and has struggled early this season. Tallying 6 points in 18 games this season, Zegras should look to capitalize on a young Sabres team.
