TONIGHT’S GAME
SABRES at STARS
- This is the first of two meetings between the Sabres and Stars this season.
- Last meeting: Dallas defeated Buffalo 7-1 in Buffalo on Jan. 20, 2018
- Next meeting: Tuesday, March 12 in Buffalo
- The Sabres are 2-8-0 in their last 10 games vs. the Stars; 2-8-0 on the road.
- This is the 123rd game all-time between Buffalo and Dallas; Buffalo has a 56-49-17 series record.
- The Sabres are 23-33-6 on the road against the Stars all-time.
- The Sabres are 10-5-3 all-time on January 30.
- January 30, 2007: Daniel Briere scores his second of two hat tricks as a member of the Sabres as the Sabres defeat the Bruins 7-1 in Buffalo.
- January 30, 2008: Ryan Miller stops all 32 Florida shots and Thomas Vanek scores the lone Buffalo goal as the Sabres defeat the Panthers 1-0 in Florida.
- Tonight’s matchup is the Sabres’ fifth straight road game. After tonight, the team will return to Buffalo for a seven-game homestand that ties the stretch from Jan. 20 to Feb. 2, 1997 as the longest in franchise history.
- Evan Rodrigues has scored in each of Buffalo’s last four games, marking the longest scoring streak of his career. He now has points in six of his last seven games (4+3), including points in five straight road games.
- The streak ties him with Jeff Skinner (2x) and Sam Reinhart for the longest goal streak by a Sabre this season.
- Rasmus Ristolainen enters tonight’s game with points in four straight contests (0+4) for the second time this season. A point tonight would give him his first five-game point streak since January 2018.
- The Sabres are looking to end a six-game road losing streak against the Stars, seeking their first win in Dallas since a 5-4 shootout win on Jan. 15, 2009.
- The only player on tonight’s rosters who played in that game was Jason Pominville, who recorded two assists and the game-deciding shootout goal.
- Nathan Beaulieu has totaled four points (1+3) in four career games against the Stars, including a career-high three points (1+2) on Jan. 4, 2017 in Dallas.
