It's hard to believe, but the Sabres and Blue Jackets have not yet played each other this season. And they'll become very familiar with each other in the near future. In addition to this weekend's games, they'll also face off on March 28 in Columbus.
The Sabres have 15 games remaining on their schedule and have 66 points. They're going to need to first and foremost help themselves by earning two points pretty much every night from here on help - and then they may need some help on top of it all. Either way, getting back into the thick of the playoff chase.
Columbus, meanwhile, are winners of their last two games, including a 2-0 win against New Jersey on Tuesday. The Blue Jackets in second place in the Metropolitan Division with 90 points, five back of first-place Washington.
Sergei Bobrovsky has earned shutouts in each of his last three games played.
