Sabres look to avoid another loss vs. Central Division club

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Buffalo Sabres suffered a disappointing upset the last time they played a club from the Central Division.

The Sabres hope to avoid a similar fate Wednesday when they take on the lowly Chicago Blackhawks.

The Sabres, whose 63 points leads the Eastern Conference, have won five of seven contests since dropping a 3-2 overtime decision to the St. Louis Blues on December 23.

Buffalo snapped a two-game skid Saturday with a 4-3 triumph at Toronto. Ales Kotalik, Daniel Briere and Chris Drury all scored a goal and added an assist in the contest.

Briere, who leads Buffalo with 33 assists and 49 points, has been steady lately with two goals and 11 assists in his last 11 games.

The Blackhawks have been struggling of late, going 1-4-0 in their last five games. Chicago dropped its third straight, 4-2, to the Phoenix Coyotes on Sunday.
