Devils visit Sabres in Eastern Conference battle

Mar 10, 2007 - 4:31 PM New Jersey (41-19-8) at Buffalo (44-18-5) 7:00 pm EST

BUFFALO, New York (Ticker) -- The New Jersey Devils have their eye on another division title and little bit more.

The Devils look to inch closer to the Atlantic Division crown when they visit the Eastern Conference-leading Buffalo Sabres on Saturday.

With 14 games remaining, New Jersey has an eight-point lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins (36-21-10) in the division and could draw closer to the Sabres, who are three points ahead for the conference lead.

Patrik Elias scored the decisive goal in Thursday's shootout as the Devils posted a 4-3 triumph at Pittsburgh, snapping their three-game losing streak.

The NHL's second-winningest goaltender, Martin Brodeur recorded 21 save en route to becoming the first netminder in league history to record six 40-win seasons for New Jersey.

Buffalo is looking to get back on track after dropping two straight games, including a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of the Minnesota Wild on Friday.

The Devils and Sabres have split their two previous meetings this season.
