Sabres look to regroup against Panthers

Mar 15, 2007 - 3:40 PM Buffalo (44-19-6) at Florida (29-28-13) 7:30 pm EDT

SUNRISE, Florida (Ticker) - The high-powered Buffalo Sabres suddenly appear to have run out of fuel.

The Sabres hope to snap their season-high four-game skid Thursday when they visit the Florida Panthers.

The league leader with 260 goals, Buffalo has just nine tallies during its losing streak and enters Thursday's contest with a slim two-point lead over second-place New Jersey (42-20-8) for the best record in the Eastern Conference.

The Sabres' skid continued in devastating fashion on Tuesday, when they dropped a 5-4 shootout decision to Pittsburgh. Leading scorer Daniel Briere had a goal and two assists for Buffalo.

The Panthers are 13th in the East but still alive, seven points out of the final playoff spot. Florida hopes to rebound from Tuesday's 3-1 loss at Carolina.

The Panthers have lost both of their trips to Buffalo this season but posted a 3-1 triumph over the Sabres on December 7 in the only meeting between the teams here this season.
