Sabres Vs Jets Live Stream: Watch Online Free 7:10 ET - Hodgson Returns For Buffalo, Winnipeg Wants Back-To-Back Wins
Sabres vs Jets live stream: Watch online free 7:10 ET as struggling Buffalo team welcomes in a Winnipeg team coming off a 3-2 victory just 24 hours ago.
The 15-5-5 Jets vs 7-23-3 Sabres will be the first of two meetings this season. They will meet again on New Years Eve. Watch the free live stream online as one team leaves Buffalo with two points.
The Sabres are struggling to score goals. Over their last six games, they have scored either one or two goals. It hasn't been since Nov. 29 vs the Maple Leafs that Buffalo scored three goals in a game. The Jets have been inconsistent with having games allowing a ton of goals, but then others where they shut down their opponent. Buffalo should have its best offensive weapon back Tuesday night.
Cody Hodgson sat out the Sabres' last two games due to a lower-body injury but practiced Monday. Hodgson leads Buffalo with 18 points, while leading the team in goals (8), assists (10).
"I obviously want to play and I want to contribute," Hodgson, who owns a minus-3 rating in four games against Winnipeg with one assist, told the team's website. "I think I can help the team, so I just have to make sure everything's good."
Interim coach Ted Nolan told the team's website that defenseman Alexander Sulzer -- who missed the club's last five games with an upper-body injury -- is also likely to come off injured reserve, according to ESPN.com.
The injury report, according to NHL.com:
"Winnipeg has Evander Kane back who scored a goal and had an assist last night, but will be without forward Matt Halischuk (forearm) indefinitely after he underwent surgery over the weekend. Defensemen Paul Postma (blood clot) and Zach Bogosian (groin) and forward Jim Slater (sports hernia) are on injured reserve. ... Buffalo forward Cody McCormick (upper body) is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, but defenseman Alexander Sulzer (undisclosed) and forward Cody Hodgson (lower body) are expected to be in the lineup Tuesday."
