Martin Biron made 30 saves and four different Sabres scored goals, as Buffalo earned a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning at the St. Pete Times Forum. Maxim Afinogenov, Alexei Zhitnik, Miroslav Satan and Vaclav Varada found the net for the Sabres, who won for the first time in seven road games (1-4-0-2). "Marty had a damn good game.

Recent playoff history, pedigree and their play of late simply suggests that the Wings and Avs both must be put right up there at the top until someone knocks them down when it counts.

With Friday night's 4-1 win over the streaking Colorado Avalanche, the Isles moved into sole possession of the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race with 66 points, one point ahead to the Tampa Bay Lightning and two in front of the Boston Bruins. "It seems like every single game in the last three months has been a huge game," said Dave Scatchard, who fueled the offense with a pair of goals, his first two since netting a hat trick in New York's last home |

The Bruins have fallen into a three-way tie with the New York Islanders and the Tampa Bay Lightning. A couple of more losses in a row and it could be an uphill climb down the stretch for Boston to make the postseason. "Of course we're concerned about it," O'Connell said.

The defeat isn't what is bothering Cassidy, but the fact that the men in the zebra shirts helped decide it with questionable calls is.
