02/27/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Buffalo Sabres will look to rebound from an emotional weekend when they battle the Toronto Maple Leafs this evening at the Air Canada Centre.
Buffalo wrapped up a high energy home-and-home series on Saturday with Ottawa, a series that saw Chris Drury go down to injury, head coach Lindy Ruff get fined and the two clubs split a pair of high-scoring games.
It all started last Thursday in the Sabres' 6-5 shootout win over the Senators in Buffalo when Ottawa's Chris Neil put a vicious hit on Drury that caused the star center to hit the ice hard and sustain a cut to his forehead that required 20 stitches to close.
Drury is out indefinitely due to his laceration and concussion-like symptoms. He now joins an extended roster of injured Sabres, a list that includes forwards Ales Kotalik (sprained MCL in right knee), Daniel Paille (broken finger) and Maxim Afinogenov (left wrist surgery), and defenseman Jaroslav Spacek (broken left hand).
An all-out brawl ensued moments after the hit that included all 10 skaters on the ice and both goaltenders -- Buffalo's Martin Biron and Ottawa's Ray Emery. Heated words were also exchanged between Ruff and Ottawa head coach Bryan Murray.
After the contest, Ruff admitted to sending out his enforcers and was fined $10,000 for his actions.
The two clubs then met on Saturday with Ottawa posting a 6-5 win over Buffalo. The game was calmer than what could have been expected and only featured a pair of fights in the second period as well as some scattered roughing and unsportsmanlike conduct calls.
Henrik Tallinder recorded his first two-goal NHL game for the Eastern Conference-leading Sabres, who lost for just the second time in their last eight. Thomas Vanek had a goal and an assist, Drew Stafford and Daniel Briere notched a pair of assists each, while Jason Pominville and Derek Roy also tallied.
Briere extended his points streak to six games in the loss. He has four goals and six assists in that span.
Martin Biron stopped 12-of-16 shots before exiting the game. Ryan Miller was saddled with the loss despite giving up two goals on 21 shots in relief.
Buffalo is a solid 19-9-2 on the road this season. The Sabres will host Montreal on Friday.
The Maple Leafs were in Montreal on Monday and were handed a 5-4 defeat by the Canadiens. Bates Battaglia and Bryan McCabe each tallied a goal and an assist for the Maple Leafs, who have dropped three of four.
Andrew Raycroft stopped only 11-of-16 shots in the loss for Toronto, which sits in 10th place in the Eastern Conference, two points out of a playoff spot. Jean-Sebastien Aubin relieved Raycroft late in the second period and turned aside all eight shots he faced.
Toronto is 12-13-5 at home this season and will travel to New Jersey on Friday.
Toronto and Buffalo have split four meetings so far this season, though the Sabres have won four of the last six and seven of the last 10.
