The Buffalo Sabres had a chance to put one of their pursuers out of their misery on Tuesday night but they failed to do so against the Leafs. Now they welcome the red-hot Rangers who sit directly above them in the standings – hoping to gain ground on seventh while creating some distance between them and ninth place Carolina.<\/p>\n

The New York Rangers are finally starting to realize all of the potential that many felt this team has had. They have been remarkable of late going 8-1-1 in their last 10 games overall. Their strong overall play has taken them from playoff peril to a somewhat comfortable position in the Eastern Conference standings.<\/p>\n

The Rangers have a fairly talented offense that has been largely inconsistent this season. When they are on, they can look amazing \u2013 when they are off, they look absolutely dreadful. Presently names like Ryan Callahan and Brandon Dubinsky have been doing their part and even Marion Gaborik is starting to shine.<\/p>\n

The Rangers success is all about Henrik Lundqvist. He has started 24 straight games and is keeping the Rangers in each and every game. When Lundqvist is on like he is now, the Rangers are awfully tough to beat.<\/p>\n

The Buffalo Sabres entered Tuesday\u2019s contest on a hot streak \u2013 they had won three straight and had nearly closed the door on the Leafs season. But the Leafs managed to do it to Buffalo again and therefore stalled Buffalo’s climb up the Eastern Conference ladder.<\/p>\n

Buffalo\u2019s offense in ranked 7th in the NHL and scored around 2.9 goals per game \u2013 they scored three times on Tuesday. Drew Stafford, Jason Pominville and Nathan Gerbe continue their strong play and Thomas Vanek also hit the score sheet Tuesday. The Sabres have two solid lines that can do damage down the stretch.<\/p>\n

Buffalo, like New York, has been riding a hot goaltender. Before letting four in on Tuesday, Ryan Miller was 3-0-0 on three starts with an incredible 0.67 goals against average.
