Buffalo Sabres vs. Detroit Red Wings Fan Chatter
Tonight, the Buffalo Sabres face the Detroit Red Wings for the first time this season. The Sabres are heading into the month of December on a two-game winning streak, having captured 4-1 wins in each of their last two games.
Tonight’s game is the first of five meetings between the Buffalo Sabres and Detroit Red Wings this season – with the next meeting just under two weeks away – and the Sabres will have to battle hard to keep their newly-born streak alive.
If the Buffalo Sabres win tonight, it’ll be their first victory at Joe Louis Arena since October 13, 2006. Overall, the Sabres have lost three straight to the Red Wings – a stat line they’ll surely be looking to change tonight.
Without further ado, here are the updated fan chatter standings. Apologies for not having a fan chatter post the last few games, but hopefully we’re all roaring and ready to get back into the swing of things!
