Final
Islanders continue homestand against depleted Sabres
Feb 28, 2009 - 11:18 AM Buffalo (31-24-7) at NY Islanders (18-36-7), 7:00 p.m. ESTUNIONDALE, New York (Ticker) -- The New York Islanders did not begin their season-high, six-game homestand on a good note.
Looking to bounce back from a deflating loss, the Islanders continue their extensive stay at Nassau Coliseum when they host the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday.
New York suffered its fourth loss in five contests with Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
All-Star defenseman Mark Streit and Jon Sim each recorded a goal and an assist and Sean Bergenheim and newly acquired Dean McAmmond also tallied for the Islanders, who fell to 5-1-3 in their last nine home games.
Meanwhile, the injury-plagued Sabres lost their second game in row with Thursday's 2-1 shootout setback to the Carolina Hurricanes.
Buffalo has been without Thomas Vanek - the team's leading scorer - for eight games and will not get him back from the fractured jaw for at least another two weeks. The Sabres are 3-4-1 without the Austrian, who has recorded 32 goals and 20 assists.
Goaltender Ryan Miller suffered an ankle injury in last Saturday's 4-2 win over the New York Rangers and is likely to miss at least another seven games, according to the Buffalo News.
