A look at the Sabres next five opponents
Montreal Canadiens: The Habs shocked everyone by rag dolling the Detroit Red Wings in the last game before the All Star Break, 7-2!! That snapped the Red Wings win streak of 7 in a row. The Habs are 9-9-7 at home while the Sabres who will finally be completing what will ultimately be a long disappointing road trip are currently 1-5-0 and being out scored 24-9. As they say though its not how you start its how you finish. Buffalo leads season series 2-0
New York Rangers: Rangers start a 2 game road trip with a stop against their bitter rivals from New Jersey. The Rangers are 16-7-2 on the road, The Rangers have outscored 13-9 this month on the road all of their victories on the road the Rangers mustered up 3 goals their only loss out of their last 5 road games was against the Montreal Canadiens where they got pumped 4-1.
