Buffalo Sabres (35-29-10) at New York Rangers (46-20-7), 7 p.m.(Sports Network) - The Buffalo Shea Weber Authentic Jersey Sabres will continue their charge for a playoff spot when they visit the Eastern Conference-leading New York Rangers tonight at Madison Square Garden.The Sabres enter today one point behind Washington for the eighth and final postseason berth in the East and the Capitals are also Ryan Suter Authentic Jersey in action tonight against visiting Winnipeg.Buffalo has won two straight and boasts a 4-0-2 record in its last six trips to the ice. Some folks were wondering why we were so critical of Ales Hemsky's two-year, $10 million deal with the Edmonton Oilers and less skeptical of Mikhail Grabovski's new five-year, $27.5 million pact. Well, it’s really Tim Tebow Jets Jersey a case of simple math.First, let’s start by saying it’s a moot point to debate whether anyone who has never scored 30 goals in an NHL season or topped the 60-point plateau is "worth" more than $5 million a year, as is the case with Grabovski.What is more illuminating is to examine the two teams’ options Peyton Manning Youth Jersey when it came to these players and what were their relative needs.All told, the Sabres have lost just two games in regulation in the last month, going 11-2-4 over a 17-game stretch."We've put together a good run to get where we're at," Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff said after his club's win Wednesday against Montreal. "We know there's a tough schedule ahead of us, but it's rewarding to get as close as we've gotten right now."Buffalo has outscored the opposition by a combined 10-3 margin in its last two contests, posting a 7-3 win Pekka Rinne Authentic Jersey Monday in Tampa Bay before Ryan Miller notched his sixth shutout of the season in Wednesday's 3-0 decision over the visiting Montreal Canadiens.Miller posted 34 stops to record the 28th shutout of his career. It was the former Vezina Trophy winner's third shutout in his last 11 starts.Cody Hodgson scored twice, Jason Pominville lit the lamp, and Derek Roy added two assists for the Sabres. Hodgson now has two goals and two assists in his last two games after going without a point in his first 10 Craig Smith Authentic Jersey games with Buffalo following a trade last month with Vancouver."Well, I said after the game in Tampa that getting a couple assists was going to be a boost for him. You know, you feel good about that and I thought tonight he probably could've had four or five points," Ruff said of the 22- year-old Hodgson.Tonight, the Sabres will try to avoid getting swept in the season series by the powerful Rangers, who are leading the East and Atlantic Division by one point over idle Pittsburgh. New York is also just two points behind St. Louis for the top seed in the NHL and the Blues, who have played two more games than the Rangers, are off Pavel Datsyuk Authentic Jersey this evening.New York is 3-0 against Buffalo this year, but needed to go past regulation to win the last two encounters. Overall, the Rangers have claimed five of seven in this series and Buffalo has lost two of its last three games in the Big Apple.The Rangers are capping a seven-game Pavel Datsyuk Authentic Jersey homestand tonight and are 4-2 on the residency after posting victories in the last two outings. New York registered a 4-2 win Monday against the rival New Jersey Devils and then earned its first win over the Detroit Red Wings in more than eight years with an overtime decision on Wednesday.Ryan Callahan's goal with 2:18 remaining in OT lifted the Blueshirts to a 2-1 victory over Detroit. It was New York's first victory over its Original Six rivals since Tyler Seguin Authentic Jersey October 25, 2003.The winner was set up by defenseman Michael Del Zotto, who held the puck near the blue line after a dish from Brandon Dubinsky up the left wing. He centered for Callahan, whose rising wrister hit the back of the net just under the crossbar."I think we're starting to get our groove back, and we're starting to play how we want and how we were playing earlier in the year," said Rangers captain Callahan, who celebrated his 27th birthday on Tim Thomas Authentic Jersey Wednesday. "It's an important time of year, and we've got to keep building and keep going.
