hird game out of four, but the first for the Sabres at the RBC Center. The teams met last Friday, back when the Sabres' losing streak was a mere two-game bump in the road, and the Sabres had a lead midway through the third. But Carolina scored twice in the final eight minutes and won 4-3. Buffalo won the first meeting, 5-1 on Nov. 28.

The lead is gone. On Jan. 18, the Sabres were tied with the Capitals for the top spot in the Eastern Conference and had an 11-point lead on the Senators in the Northeast Division. A 2-7-2 slide, coupled with Ottawa winning 12 of 13, translates into a first-place tie. Now they have to keep up with their Ontario neighbors by facing a Hurricanes team that's playing more like the one that went to the Eastern Conference Finals last spring.
