Last 10 matches: Carolina 3-5-2; Buffalo 4-5-1
This is the first meeting of the season between the clubs. Last season, the teams split the four-game season series, with each team winning once at home. Carolina leads the all-time series 35-14-6-1 since moving from Hartford, including 17-8-3 at home and 18-6-3-1 on the road.The Sabres are on the road to recovery after a bruising 4-2 win over the always-dangerous Flyers on Friday ended a four-game winless streak. A four-point outburst from Tim Connolly helped Buffalo move to within a point of the Northeast Division lead behind Boston and Ottawa. The Sabres hope their offense re-awakens further against a Carolina team that is last in the East as they claw their way back up the Conference. The Hurricanes have won three of their last seven games after enduring a dreary 14-game winless streak. Carolina remains the only NHL club that is winless on the road in 2009-10, with a 0-9-3 mark away from the RBCCenter.
Now that Staal has returned from a 10-game absence, the Hurricanes hope that goaltender Cam Ward is able to recover sooner rather than later from a leg laceration. Ward’s backup, Michael Leighton is battling groin problems, leaving the crease to Manny Legace for six straight games. Defenseman Joni Pitkanen is questionable for Saturday; the defensemen left Friday night’s game after the second period with an upper-body injury. Carolina also has forward Scott Walker out indefinitely with an upper-body injury, while Casey Borer (neck) and Michael Ryan (concussion) remain sidelined. Meanwhile, just after the Sabres had returned to full strength Wednesday with the return of Mike Grier, both captain Craig Rivet (lower body) and checking center Paul Gaustad (undisclosed) went down in Friday’s game with the Flyers. Their status is uncertain.
Experiencing good health this season has been beneficial for Tim Connolly; he has not gone more than three games without scoring at least one point. Connolly had an explosive game against the Flyers, with 2 assists and 2 goals, including one off a laser of a wrist shot that complements his world-class stick-handling skills. … After being shelved for nearly a month with an upper body injury, Hurricanes center Eric Staal has two points in his first two games back in a lineup hungry for production. Forward Jussi Jokinen is the only Carolina player with at least one point in each of the team’s wins this season. Live score and results will be available soon..
