Sabres return home to face Maple Leafs

Feb 4, 2009 - 11:18 AM Toronto (19-23-9) at Buffalo (26-20-5), 7:30 pm EST

BUFFALO, New York (Ticker) -- After traveling all over the map for nearly a month, the Buffalo Sabres finally get to return home.

The Sabres will seek their fourth straight win at the HSBC Arena on Wednesday, when they square off against the Toronto Maple Leafs in a meeting of Northeast Division rivals.

Buffalo has not lost at home since December 30, but has not been here much recently. The Sabres have played nine of 10 games on the road, going 5-5-0 in that span.

In the finale of a season-long, six-game road trip, Buffalo suffered a 3-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Monday. Patrick Kaleta and defenseman Craig Rivet both scored for the Sabres, who split their first two meetings of the season with the Maple Leafs.

Toronto is coming off Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Florida Panthers.

Niklas Hagman, Alexei Ponikarovsky and Nik Antropov tallied for the Maple Leafs, who have posted a 5-10-3 record since December 22.
