The Buffalo Sabres will be aiming to maintain their reliable run of form when they travel to the Ottawa Senators in the NHL on April 2.
The Sabres have moved to the top of the Atlantic Division after winning their last two. Meanwhile, the Senators have suffered defeats in each of their previous three.
The Ottawa Senators will still have dreams of reaching the NHL playoffs for the second season in a row. However, Travis Green will need to shake up his players after a poor run of results, which has seen them lose three on the bounce. Despite this, the Senators have also won six of their previous ten.
However, Ottawa were made to pay for a slow start in their most recent outing, conceding five in the opening period before losing 6-3 at the Florida Panthers. Michael Amadio and Drake Batherson scored the goals in reply for the Senators.

The Buffalo Sabres have been one of the stories of the season in the NHL, and they could move to the top of the Eastern Conference standings on Thursday. Buffalo have gone 6-2-2 across their last ten, and they have registered wins in each of their last ten.
Their progressive offensive style continued to flourish last time out, recording a 4-3 home win over the New York Islanders. Jack Quinn continued his excellent season by scoring and making one assist.
| TOTAL | Senators | Sabres | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reguation WINS | 184 | 79 | 95 | - |
| GOALS | 998 | 481 | 517 |
It could pay to side with the in-form team this weekend. The Sabres have been reliable on their travels in the NHL this season, and they have recorded victories in 52% of their previous head-to-head clashes with the Senators.
