The Buffalo Sabres are heading into their holiday break with a sense of momentum after securing a 9-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs and suffering a narrow overtime loss to the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Despite the break running through Tuesday, the team is looking to maintain their form as they prepare for their next game against the NHL Bruins. The Sabres, who had a strong showing against the Rangers, a team considered to be the best in the NHL, will return to the ice on Wednesday morning for a pregame skate. Meanwhile, the Washington Capitals are gearing up post-holiday break, anticipating the return of key players such as Pacioretty and Bear, and facing decisions regarding roster and lineup changes. The Bruins are scheduled to fly to Buffalo on Wednesday morning and will have a day-of-game skate at 11:30 am. The Sabres are set to gain national attention in their upcoming game against the Bruins, a team currently facing struggles, and will need to continue their strong performance from the last two games to improve their playoff odds. There will be no Henrik Lundqvist analysis this time, but the Sabres are expected to keep up their play.
