Clinching Scenarios<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Sabres have had an excellent season with a chance to make it special. They have a chance to clinch home ice in the first round and potentially the division tonight.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They secure home ice in round one of the playoffs if they win in any fashion <strong><u>or<\/u><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lose in OT\/Shootout and the Lightning lose in regulation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The two divisional clinching scenarios are as follows<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sabres win in any fashion and Lightning lose in any fashion or<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sabres win in regulation and Lightning win in OT\/Shootout<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There will be significant scoreboard watching by fans, but the easiest way to bring in the playoff run with home ice advantage is to win tonight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. How the Turntables<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Blackhawks are a team with nothing to lose. They are last in their division by 10 points and are likely booking tee times later this week. However, a team with nothing to lose is a wild card. The pressure is off, and they can play loose. There will be players fighting for contracts who will treat the last few games like their life deepens on it. The Sabres need a good start to curb any enthusiasm or optimism their opponents might get off an early lead. The Sabres are only too familiar with how teams out of it can surprise playoff teams. Fortunately, they are on the playoff team side of the equation this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Even Distribution<\/strong><strong\/><\/p>\n<p>With the playoffs secured and home ice within reach, the Sabres would be wise to roll all lines against the Blackhawks. They have a great incentive to win tonight based on the clinching scenarios, but this is not a night someone like Dahlin should be playing for 30 minutes. Ice time should be spread out to ensure everyone is fresh and ready for the playoffs. The coaching staff will be wise not to burn out their top performers tonight.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Projected Lineups<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Buffalo Sabres<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Forwards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Krebs \u2013 Thompson \u2013 Tuch<\/p>\n<p>Benson \u2013 Norris \u2013 Doan<\/p>\n<p>Zucker \u2013 McLeod \u2013 Quinn<\/p>\n<p>Greenway \u2013 Kozak \u2013 Malenstyn<\/p>\n<p><strong>Defense<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Samuelsson \u2013 Dahlin<\/p>\n<p>Byram \u2013 Power<\/p>\n<p>Stanley \u2013 Metsa<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Starter:<\/em><\/strong><strong> <\/strong>Luukkonen<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chicago Blackhawks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Forwards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Greene \u2013 Bedard \u2013 Lardis<\/p>\n<p>Bertuzzi \u2013 Frondell \u2013 Mikheyev<\/p>\n<p>Donato \u2013 Nazar \u2013 Burakovsky<\/p>\n<p>Mangiapane \u2013 Boisvert \u2013 Teravainen<\/p>\n<p><strong>Defense<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vlasic \u2013 Crevier<\/p>\n<p>Kaiser \u2013 Rinzel<\/p>\n<p>Korchinski \u2013 Lafferty<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Starter:<\/em><\/strong><strong> <\/strong>Knight<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diebytheblade.com\/game-81-preview-open-thread-buffalo-sabres-vs-chicago-blackhawks\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buffalo Sabres (49-23-8) at Chicago Blackhawks (28-38-14) Puck Drop: 7:30 PM | United Center | Chicago, IL TV: MSG-B, ESPN+ Radio: WGR 550 Know Your Opponent Chicago Blackhawks Record: 28-38-14 | 70 PTS Division Ranking: 8th in Central Division Last Game: 5-3 Loss vs St. Louis Blues PP: 28th (17.5%) | Sabres Rank: 18th (19.9%) [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":106612,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAow2JLhCw:productID":"","_gspb_post_css":"","maa_idioma":"","maa_pais":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[12967,13286,6511,4016,261,2946,8275,10182],"class_list":["post-106611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ubirata","tag-blackhawks","tag-buffalo","tag-chicago","tag-game","tag-open","tag-preview","tag-sabres","tag-thread"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Game 81 Preview &amp;
