Briere, Sabres try to end skid vs. slumping Bruins

Jan 15, 2007 - 1:59 PM Buffalo (31-11-3) at Boston (20-18-4) 1:00 pm EST

BOSTON (Ticker) -- Daniel Briere and the Buffalo Sabres are hoping to break out of their recent slump.

The Sabres look to avoid their first three-game skid of the season Monday when they visit the Boston Bruins.

The top team in the Eastern Conference, Buffalo has lost four of its last six games, yielding a total of 17 tallies in the four losses.

The Sabres dropped a 3-2 decision to Tampa Bay on Saturday to record consecutive losses for the third time this season. Buffalo has not lost three straight contests yet this season.

The Sabres' leader in assists (36) and points (52), Briere has been one of Buffalo's few bright spots over the last three weeks, recording a pair of five-game points streaks over that stretch. The All-Star center has one tally and five assists in his current five-game points streak.

The Bruins also have struggling of late, dropping six of their last seven. Boston's most recent loss was a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the New York Rangers on Saturday.

Buffalo has won both meetings with Boston this season, including a 5-4 shootout victory on November 2.
