Forward Alex Tuch has recorded seven goals and four assists over his past 11 games for Buffalo; Boston forward Fraser Minten said, "It's fun," regarding the intense playoff positioning battle.
Scouting potential first-round opponents occupies Buffalo fans, with the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators emerging as high-probability matchups; the Sabres have posted strong records against these teams this season.
