Two low scoring teams go at it here both carrying high fatigue ratings.

The Red Wings enter the weekend as one of just six teams that has played as many as 11 games. This is a finale of a four-game, seven-day road trip. Discount a 5-4 loss to Toronto and the Red Wings have scored five goals in regulation during their last four games.

The Sabres have scored 3 or fewer goals in regulation during six of their last seven games. They just returned from a four-game West Coast trip that concluded Thursday night in Seattle. So the Sabres still might not have their sea legs making the long journey back to the East Coast.

Both teams are bad and badly in need of a victory. So this should be an intense, defensive-minded game.
