The Buffalo Sabres go for their seventh win in a row when they host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday for first place in the Atlantic Division.<\/p>\n
The Buffalo Sabres look to stay hot in a battle for the top position in the Atlantic Division when they host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. Tampa Bay and Buffalo are tied for first with 82 points, with the Lightning having one more victory in the win column. This is a huge deal since the Sabres haven\u2019t made the playoffs since 2011, let alone winning the division. The Sabres have got here by winning six in a row, while Tampa Bay just ended a four-game losing streak with a victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. This series is tied at a game apiece after the Sabres won 6-2 on the road just over a week ago on Feb. 28. It was Buffalo\u2019s third win in a row at the time. Josh Norris scored twice, and Rasmus Dahlin took home the first star with a goal and two assists. Buffalo scored four goals in the first period and five in a row to put the game away early.<\/p>\n

Tage Thompson and Jason Zucker scored less than two minutes apart in the second period and then Josh Doan got the go-ahead goal just 16 seconds into the third period. Nashville would get within one on the power play with less than four minutes left in regulation, but the Predators couldn\u2019t fully complete the comeback. It was goalie Alex Lyon, though, who earned the first star for the Sabres, making 23 saves on the night.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The Lightning will also be playing on back-to-back nights in this game after beating the Maple Leafs 5-2 on Saturday. Toronto scored the first goal of the game, but Tampa Bay came storming back with the next four goals, all in the first period. Then Tampa Bay added another in the third period on an empty net for good measure. Toronto didn\u2019t score again until there were only 31 seconds left in the game. Nikita Kucherov was the first star of the game with four assists, giving him 100 points on the year.
