Lightning continue homestand vs. Sabres

Jan 29, 2008 - 2:24 PM Buffalo (21-21-6) at Tampa Bay (20-25-5) 7:00 pm EST

TAMPA, Florida (Ticker) - The longest homestand of the season continues on Tuesday for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Lightning finished in last place of the Southeast Division before the All-Star break, but are only seven points behind first-place Carolina. Tampa Bay had a three-game winning streak end on Thursday with an 8-4 home loss to Ottawa.

"Every time we took one step, right away we took one back," Lightning right wing Martin St. Louis said.

Tampa Bay has lost eight of its last nine games against Buffalo, including a 4-3 overtime loss in the first of four games between the teams this season.

The Sabres are 2-2 after a 10-game losing streak. Currently tied for last place in the Northeast Division, Buffalo is coming off a 2-1 road victory over co-Pacific Division leader Dallas on Thursday that ended an eight-game winless streak on the road.

"It was a total team effort," center Paul Gaustad said. "It was a good result going into the break."

The Lightning have the lowest point total in the Eastern Conference, but are 5-4-1 in their last 10 games. Tampa Bay is 13-11-2 at home. The Sabres are 9-13-4 on the road.
