ndash; Take nothing away from the Bruins for winning the initial offering in this series, but the game was lacking a certain flavor – namely, the battle between two of the League’s elite goalies, Tim Thomas and Ryan Miller. That doesn’t figure to be the case this time around. Rask got the start for Boston at Atlanta on Thursday, indicating Thomas (tied for first in the NHL with three shutouts) will face Buffalo. Miller has started all but two games for the Sabres and is tied for the League lead in wins (12) while ranking second in goals-against average (1.97) and save percentage (.931).ndash; Normally a very responsible team with the puck, Buffalo committed a season-high 25 giveaways in its last game against Florida.
“A lot of the mistakes are on our own shoulders,” Ruff said. “We turned some pucks over, and had some guys who didn’t stop and compete on pucks.”
ndash; Forward Milan Lucic (finger) returned for the Bruins on Thursday and they hope to have forward Marc Savard (foot) back as early as Monday.
The Sabres have been without defenseman Toni Lydman for the past 11 games and forward Mike Grier for the last three as they recover from groin injuries. Lydman could return against the Bruins. Forwards Derek Roy and Tim Connolly were held out of practice Thursday for “maintenance” reasons, but coach Lindy Ruff said he expected both to be in the lineup Friday.
ndash; Boston forward Michael Ryder scored twice against Atlanta and has three goals in as many games. Buffalo forward Thomas Vanek assisted on both goals against Florida and has a four-game points streak (one goal, four assists). We will post information about results of this match, as soon as posible.
