The Bruins will try to snap a 3-game skid (0-2-1) tonight when they host the Buffalo Sabres at TD Garden. Buffalo, led by the strong play of goaltender Ryan Milller, is off to an impressive 9-3-1. The Sabres will try to move on from a 5-2 loss to the Flyers last night. While Ryan Miller has held the fort for Buffalo so far this season, it appears that recent call up Jhonas Enroth will get the start in goal, while Tuukka Rask will get the start in net for the B's.
