Final
Sabres host struggling Senators
Oct 27, 2008 - 1:25 PM Ottawa (2-5-1) at Buffalo (6-0-2) 7:00 p.m. EDTBUFFALO, New York (Ticker) -- Losers of four straight, things will not get any easier for the Ottawa Senators when they take on the Buffalo Sabres and their spotless regulation record on Monday.
Buffalo has earned at least a point in all of its eight games this season while Ottawa is in the midst of a four-game losing skid.
The Sabres own a three-point lead over Montreal in the Northeast division, with left wing Thomas Vanek and goaltender Ryan Miller leading the way.
Vanek leads the NHL with eight goals and Miller owns a league-leading 1.60 goals against average. The American netminder also ranks second in the league with a .940 save percentage.
Each of the last four games for the Sabres has required overtime or a shootout, with Buffalo capturing three shootout wins and an overtime victory.
After earning three points in a pair of games against Pittsburgh in Stockholm, the Senators have lost five of their last six games, including three one-goal decisions.
Defenseman Filip Kuba leads Ottawa with 11 assists while left wing Dany Heatley and center Jason Spezza have collected nine points apiece.
Monday's matchup marks the second in a four-game, eight-day road trip for Ottawa.
