Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted December 23, 2014 Sabres, Red Wings dealing with injury concerns Tuesday, 12.23.2014 / 10:03 AM NHL.com Print E-mail SABRES (13-18-3) at RED WINGS (17-8-9) TV: MSG-B, BELL TV, FS-D Season series: Zemgus Girgensons scored in the third round of a shootout and Michal Neuvirth stopped Henrik Zetterberg to seal a 3-2 win for the Buffalo Sabres against the Red Wings on Nov. 2 in Buffalo. The Red Wings had won seven straight against the Sabres; Buffalo's previous victory against Detroit was a 6-2 win Oct. 13, 2009. Sabres team scope: The Sabres canceled practice in Detroit on Monday, mostly because coach Ted Nolan wants to make sure a flu bug that already has affected forwards Patrick Kaleta and Matt Moulson doesn't spread any further. Their status for Tuesday is unknown, as is the status of captain Brian Gionta. Gionta sustained a hard hit from the Boston Bruins' Matt Bartkowski at 14:08 of the first period and did not return to the game because of an upper-body injury. In addition, Marcus Foligno sustained an upper-body injury fighting Bartkowski after the hit on Gionta and did not return to the game. If the Sabres decide to recall a forward from Rochester of the American Hockey League, it might not be in time for the morning skate Tuesday. Red Wings team scope: Goaltender Jimmy Howard practiced Monday, but his status for Tuesday remains unknown. Howard injured his groin in the first period of a 2-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Friday and left about halfway through practice Monday, according to MLive.com. "I was surprised [Howard] was out there on his own, then I was surprised he was in the net," coach Mike Babcock said Monday, according to MLive.com. "I gave him the boot out of the one net to say are you starting tomorrow. I don't know if he is. We'll know tomorrow morning." Petr Mrazek will start if Howard can't, but Howard told MLive he's feeling positive he'll be able to go. "There's a chance, but I don't know. I'll probably have to talk a little bit more to [the training staff] to see what's best for myself and for the team. It's responded every single day with treatments. It felt good out there on the ice today, so hopefully tomorrow, another good work day, and you never know."

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted December 23, 2014 I made a bet with my brother-in-law (Habs fan), that Detroit would be ahead of Montreal by Christmas. We made the bet on November 26th when Detroit were 6 points back with two games in hand on Montreal. The deal was if Montreal are ahead after December 23rd (tonight), I owe him two dozen beer, if Detroit are ahead, he owes me two dozen beer and a 26er of rum. I desperately need a Wings victory over the lowly Sabres, as well as the Islanders to come up huge with a regulation win over the Habs tonight... GO WINGS! f*** THE HABS! 2 derblaueClaus and TheXym reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
