In what promises to be an energetic and physical continuation to the Ryan Miller Saga, the Buffalo Sabres and their much-hyped (in Buffalo anyway) new additions will be in town tomorrow night to face the Bruins. Among those additions are a giant, useless waste of a roster spot known as “Big” John Scott, and everybody’s favorite antagonist “Brave Steve” Ott, which is sure to make for some fun times come 7pm. The Bruins meanwhile look to remain undefeated in regulation in hopes of further padding their Eastern Conference lead.

The Bruins kick off a busy week of three games in four nights tomorrow evening in Raleigh, taking on the Hurricanes for this first time this season.

Dougie Hamilton

If a compressed 48-game sprint to the Stanley Cup Playoffs wasn’t exciting enough for you, there’s another rapidly escalating race that’s going to be fun to watch as the season unfolds, and that’s the race for the Calder Trophy. Awarded to the league’s highest performing rookie, there are already a number of candidates making headlines with their play.
