5 THINGS - FLAMES @ SABRES

KNOW YOUR ENEMY

The Sabres, who are playing their first game back from the bye week, were greeted with some good news at Friday's practice.

Tage Thompson was back on the ice as a full participant after suffering an upper-body injury in Buffalo's last game on Feb. 1, forcing the goal-scoring wizard to miss the NHL All-Star Game.

"It was nice to get a little rest there, a little time off, take care of the body and get ready to start the remaining of the season up," Thompson said.

The Flames aren’t a bad team. They’re not amazing either. They’re pretty good, but they’re not great. They lack consistency this season, and they’re essentially in the spot they are now where they need to grind to generate offence and capture points. They need to embrace the grind over the next 30 games and figure out a way to string some wins together, otherwise they’ll maintain their current spot outside of the playoff cutline.

Sabres face the Flames in a non-conference matchup

BOTTOM LINE: The Buffalo Sabres host the Calgary Flames in a non-conference matchup.

Buffalo has gone 11-13-2 at home and 26-20-4 overall. The Sabres have given up 169 goals while scoring 185 for a +16 scoring differential.

Calgary has a 24-18-10 record overall and a 10-9-8 record on the road. The Flames have a 24-2-8 record when scoring at least three goals.

Sabres are in playoff race ahead of schedule, and Kevyn Adams is walking interesting line

When the Sabres hit the ice for practice Thursday in the wake of their bye week – nobody brought any sunshine back from the Bahamas or Arizona? – they were three points out of the final playoff slot. They wake up Friday morning with five games in hand over the New York Islanders and three over Washington.
