Sabres are Sizzling!

The Buffalo Sabres have come out flying this year, winning six of their last seven, including 5 in a row. Backup goalie Jocelyn Thibault gave Fleury a rest on Saturday in Montreal, and he came up big in a 2-0 win for the veteran goalie's 38th career shutout. The next game is in Carolina on Wednesday night. Puck drop-7 p.m.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

This just in from downtown Buffalo...Ryan Miller has been traded to Pittsburgh!

The stud netminder for the Sabres has been shipped south for goalie Marc-Andre Fleury and center Erik Christensen.

Christensen was sent down to Rochester following the trade, where it is believed he will center the first line.

Fleury will start in goal Thursday night against Atlanta.
