Two New York teams will face each other tonight when the red hot Buffalo Sabres head to MSG to take on the New York Rangers. The 22-15-4 Sabres have won 11 of their last 12 and their forward, Tage Thompson, has been on fire with 9 tallies in his last 13 games. The 20-18-6 Rangers have just 1 win in their last 5 tries, are banged up, and a dismal 5-10-4 in Manhattan.

After a successful road trip where they won 4 out of 7, the Montréal Canadiens return home tonight to Bell Centre to host the Calgary Flames.
