Buffalo Sabres (10-9-1) will host the in-form Minnesota Wild (13-3-3) in a thrilling ice hockey matchup on Wednesday night at the KeyBank Center. The Sabres have played a series of back-to-back matches lately and will be glad to have a 3-day off before hosting the Wild. Before this matchup, they'll visit the Sharks on Saturday night, looking to make it three wins on the bounce as they continue their charge in the Atlantic Division. Like the Sabres, the Wild are also riding on a two-game winning streak ahead of their matchup against the Flames on Saturday. They are second in the Central Division, 5 points behind the Jets, with an extra game to play. It's a must-win for them as they play catchup in the division.
