Public Skate: Sabres at Bruins, 7:30pm

Steady Sveddy takes on the Lindbacker.

Tonight we invite Buffalo into our homes and our lives. The Sabres have lost seven straight games, but took two of their last three contests to a shootout before grabbing the loser point. While Buffalo is in full metal tank mode, they're playing back-up netminder Matt Hackett, who you may not know but you should, if for no other reason than his seriously awesome mask.

[Ed note: Matt Hackett isn't playing tonight, and it's actually Anders, playing in a Lindback-to-back. But, still a cool helmet.]

Also, TIL that despite their current logo having a wild buffalo and two swords, the Sabres' mascot is neither a buffalo nor a sword-yieliding person, but a pretty harmless-looking sabretooth tiger. The More You Know®.

Svedberg gets the nod in net for the night. #SwedePower. How's everyone feeling about a win tonight, eh?
