How to Watch, Live Stream Sabres vs. Preds

The Nashville Predators conclude their season-long, five-game homestand tonight as the Buffalo Sabres come to town. It's the first of two meetings between the clubs on the schedule; Nashville will head to upstate New York in early April.
The Preds snapped a two-game skid with an impressive bounce back effort on Saturday, a 5-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. Nashville scored three goals in the first five minutes of a game for the first time in franchise history and stayed strong to collect their 18th win of the season.
"Tonight was 100 percent on the players for their response," Predators Head Coach Peter Laviolette said following the game. "For me, the leadership group and the players get the credit. It was a much better game, and I thought under the circumstances, it was one of our best team wins of the year."

Forwards Eeli Tolvanen and Anthony Richard were recalled prior to Saturday's contest, and Tolvanen proceeded to score his first NHL goal less than four minutes into the game. Richard's appearance was his first in the NHL.
Nashville forward Filip Forsberg was added to the team's growing Injured Reserve list on Saturday and will miss 4-6 weeks with an upper-body injury. He joins Viktor Arvidsson, Kyle Turris and P.K. Subban who are also on IR.
Update: The Preds
have reassigned
forward Anthony Richard to Milwaukee.

Last Time Out:
In addition to Tolvanen's first-career tally, Kevin Fiala, Ryan Johansen, Craig Smith and Austin Watson all found the back of the net on Saturday night in the 5-2 win. Pekka Rinne made 19 saves on the night, while Laviolette collected his 200th Nashville victory.
Johansen leads the club in scoring with 23 points, followed by Roman Josi with 18 points and Mattias Ekholm with 16. With Forsberg and Arvidsson - the team's top two goal scorers - out of the lineup, Smith and Ryan Hartman are currently tied for the lead with seven goals each among active players.

The Opposition:
Led by former Preds Assistant Coach Phil Housley, the Sabres (17-7-3) are one of the League's top teams. Buffalo has lost two-straight, but rattled off a 10-game win streak prior to the losses. Jack Eichel leads the club with 32 points, and offseason acquisition Jeff Skinner has already hit the 20-goal mark. Skinner has 28 points and Sam Reinhart has 21 points on the season. Former Preds netminder Carter Hutton is 12-7-1 for the Sabres with a .917 save percentage.
