Buffalo Sabres (45-21-8, 98 points) host the New York Islanders (42-27-5, 89 points) in a pivotal late-season NHL matchup at KeyBank Center, with the Sabres aiming to solidify their Atlantic Division standing and the Islanders pushing for a wild card playoff spot. Both teams enter hot, with Buffalo posting a 6-2-2 record over their last 10 games and leading the season series 2-0, while New York boasts a stingy defense (2.76 GA/GP, 4th in NHL) and 6-4-0 recent form amid a playoff surge. Islanders key absences include Alexander Romanov (shoulder, IR), Semyon Varlamov (knee, out for season), Kyle Palmieri and Pierre Engvall (IR); Sabres monitor Noah Ostlund (upper body, day-to-day) and Isak Kulich (ear, likely out). Ilya Sorokin (.914 SV%) expected in net for New York against Buffalo's high-powered offense (3.43 GF/GP, 6th).
