Two days after their 32-29 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game, the Buffalo Bills caught a stray during the Buffalo Sabres’ 7-2 blowout win over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night.

Last year's No. 1, the Sabres still have a good pool, with five legit prospects and quantity that runs deep into the teens.

"It feels like we need a miracle for either of Terry Pegula's core teams to ever win a championship. There's not many people in this town who can vouch that this is possible, but I can," writes Harrington.

There is NHL action on Tuesday, Jan. 28 and that includes a matchup with Buffalo Sabres hosting the Boston Bruins at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY.

Tage Thompson and JJ Peterka each recorded a hat trick and an assist to lead the Buffalo Sabres to a 7-2 win over the visiting Boston Bruins on Tuesday night.

The lead lasted all of 55 seconds. The B’s top line got hemmed in its own end for much of the shift and, after it finally pushed it out of the zone, the players got caught in a change. On a Sabre 4-on-3, Matt Poitras got lost out high and Dylan Cozens connected with the wide-open trailer Thompson, who ripped a slapper past Swayman.

Tage Thompson and JJ Peterka had hat tricks, and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 25 saves as Buffalo rolled to a 7-2 win over Boston.

Ruff: He was the guy that gave our guys a lot of comfort. He knew that his job was to make sure that these guys could play at a high level and let nobody take advantage. And if you look around the league, I don’t know if there were too many that were better at doing what he did.

The Nashville Predators' attack has lost its potency again, especially on the power play, which went 0-for-3 against the Vancouver Canucks.
