It's a matchup of the NHL's best team taking on its worst as Anaheim comes in with the best record and Buffalo comes in at the worst mark. The Ducks dropped the Sabres in Buffalo 6-3 last Thursday.
The Ducks have yet to lose at Honda Center and enter play after their power play--which has struggled this year--came through twice in a 5-2 win over the Phoenix Coyotes on Wednesday.
"I think we can be a lot better," defenseman Cam Fowler told NHL.com. "We've found ways to win without scoring, basically, any power play goals. Special teams definitely has been at the top of our list of something we need to correct.."
Buffalo is coming off of a 2-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings Thursday night and were limited to just 19 shots.
"We played pretty well 5-on-5," forward Matt Moulson said per NHL.com. "We lost the special-teams battle tonight. They had a couple of power-play goals and ours wasn't clicking very well. That was the difference."
Moulson, acquired last month from the New York Islanders, leads the Sabres with with 15 points off of eight goals and seven assists while Cody Hodgson has five tallies with eight helpers for 13 points.
The Ducks counter with an attack that's led by Ryan Getzlaf, who has seven goals and 11 assists for 18 points while three other Anaheim players in Corey Perry (10-7-17), Mathieu Perreault (5-9-14) and Nick Bonino (4-6-10) have reached double digits in points.
In the crease, Jonas Hiller has started 11 of 18 games and posted a 7-2-1 record with a 2.47 GAA and a .908 save percentage while Ryan Miller has been between the pipes for the Sabres in 12 of 18 games while posting a 2-10-0 record along with a 3.09 GAA and a .919 save percentage.
