The Buffalo Sabres’ four-game road trip now takes them to Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome for a Thursday night matchup with the Flames. On Tuesday, the Sabres rode their top line to a 3-2 comeback victory in Vancouver, their third win of the season when trailing after two periods.

The Buffalo Sabres will attempt to build on their win in Vancouver when they face the Calgary Flames on Thursday night. Paul Hamilton has his game preview:

Kulich played 17:47 in Vancouver, posted his first career three-point night and went 9-11 on faceoffs – but it was notable that he was 4-1 over the final 10 minutes and his faceoff win directly led to the winning goal.

Buffalo Sabres goalie prospect Devon Levi is putting together a terrific season in the AHL. He’s 12-3-2 with a .913 save percentage, 2.33 goals-against average and two shutouts. He was named to the AHL All-Star Game. At that level, the 23-year-old has looked the part as one of hockey’s most promising goalie prospects.

The Amerks are second in the Eastern Conference with a 23-11-4 record. They won 11 of 12 games from Dec. 7 through Jan. 1, including a seven-game win streak, and their goal differential is plus-25.

Elliotte Friedman has recently revealed that the Penguins are looking to shake up their roster and go younger, and they're targeting some Sabres prospects.
