The Calgary Flames face the Buffalo Sabres with both teams looking to improve on rough starts to the season. The Flames are 1-1-1 and coming off a difficult overtime loss while the Sabres lost their first two games but had a nice bounce-back performance in their recent game to earn their first win of the year. The Flames look to improve in the Pacific Division while the Sabres look to climb out of the bottom of the Atlantic Division and the upcoming game should be a great one.
