Hockey Night Outside of Ontario

The Leafs travel to Buffalo to take on the flying Sabres. They kept their diving in check in their 4-3 victory in Toronto on Saturday so hopefully they can restrain themselves again. The Leafs have played 2 pretty good games in Buffalo this year (a nice change from the past) and Andrew Raycroft had his best game of the year in the buds' 4-1 win in November.

None of the injuries are likely to return and in possibly the worst news of the year, super sophomore Kyle Wellwood might join Mike Peca and Nik Antropov on the Long-Term Injury Reserve.

Meanwhile, the senators travel to the Big Apple to take on the struggling Rangers. The sens are 1-1 against the Rangers this year. Mike Comrie looks to continue his resurrection of the senators and Dany Heatley will need to continue his Hart Trophy push away from his binkie Jason Spezza who is still a while away from returning.

Predictions:
Leafs 4
Sabres 2

Rangers 5
sens 4
