Buffalo Sabres News & Notes:

The Sabres currently sit a couple of points away from playoff position in the Atlantic Division as we close in on US Thanksgiving. Capitalizing on teams with injury issues like the Flyers could help make a difference in the standings come April.

Philadelphia Flyers News & Notes:

Travis Konecny currently leads the Flyers in points with 19(9 goals, 10 assists); look for Konecny to continue his scoring pace to keep this Flyers group competitive.

Matvei Michkov has 13 points in 16 games and is an early-season favorite for the Calder Trophy.
