Here's what you need to know.

A look back at yesterday

From the Postgame Report…
Ryan Miller had one more show for the people in Buffalo.
The Sabres outshot the Anaheim Ducks, 15-5, in the third period but were unable to push the tying goal past Miller in a 3-2 loss on Sunday. He made a glove save on Jeff Skinner with 1:36 remaining to put the finishing touches on a 31-save performance.
Miller, now 39 and not under contract past this season, collected the game puck from teammate Ryan Getzlaf and saluted the fans after being named the game's third star. It was the 385th regular season win of his career, moving him into a tie with Mike Vernon for 15th on the all-time list.

Dominik Hasek, whom Miller passed to set the Sabres franchise record in wins eight years ago, is up next at 389.
"It's nice to be able to be healthy and be here and play," Miller told reporters afterward.

What was a memorable moment for a franchise icon stood as another lesson for the current team. The Sabres fell behind 3-0 in the first period on goals from Jakob Silfverberg, Getzlaf, and Nick Ritchie, a departure from the disciplined game they displayed to start their win in New York on Friday.

Jonas Johansson stopped a penalty shot from Troy Terry to prevent a fourth Ducks goal with 2:08 remaining in the period, which Johan Larsson followed with a goal to put the Sabres on the board just a minute later. Rasmus Dahlin added a power-play goal in the second.
Johansson, who found out he was starting this morning after Carter Hutton became unavailable with a family circumstance, was strong in his response after allowing three goals in the first 12 minutes. Krueger admitted he had a conversation with assistant coach Mike Bales about whether to pull Johansson out of the game.
"In the end, just bouncing back and forth, we were both of the opinion that he deserved to stay in," Krueger said. "He got a very late call on playing today. I'm really happy we left him in."
The team assigned Hammond to Rochester this morning.
