"The Sabres are still riding high after a knock-down, drag-out fight with the Tampa Bay Lightning, which boosted the team to the top of the Atlantic Division. The two teams accumulated 102 penalty minutes on Sunday night, but the Sabres got the better of it, scoring four power play goals and winning 8-7 in regulation."
"Tage Thompson is the top scorer for the Sabres with 70 points in 64 games. He also has the most goals with 34. Behind him is Alex Tuch with 27 goals. In the net, Alex Lyon is 17-8-3 with a .915 save percentage."
"The team added Logan Stanely, Luke Schenn and Tanner Pearson at the deadline and are just waiting for those work visas to come through. According to the Buffalo team site, the players still aren't allowed to practice or play with the team. That means they likely will not be available for tonight's game."
The San Jose Sharks visit Buffalo for their only regular-season matchup against the Sabres, who currently lead the Atlantic Division following an intense 8-7 victory over Tampa Bay that featured 102 combined penalty minutes. Buffalo's recent trade deadline acquisitions—Logan Stanley, Luke Schenn, and Tanner Pearson—cannot yet participate due to work visa delays. The Sabres' offensive threats include Tage Thompson with 70 points and 34 goals, and Alex Tuch with 27 goals. Goaltender Alex Lyon maintains a .915 save percentage. Buffalo's defense ranks 15th in goals allowed and 5th in penalty kill efficiency. San Jose will deploy Yaroslav Askarov in net with lineup adjustments including Philipp Kurashev returning to the top six.
