The Buffalo Sabres will be looking to close the gap on the New York Islanders in the playoff race on Tuesday night from UBS Arena.
The Sabres find themselves three points out of the last wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, and they will need to start picking up wins if they hope to make a late push for the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Islanders are coming off a solid 4-1 win against the Red Wings on Saturday and currently hold the first wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference as they look for another win tonight.
