GDT - Game #23: Sabres @ Sens, Nov 29, 2016, 7:30pm

Buffalo is just one point out of dead last, but Eichel will make his season debut after missing the first 21 games with a high ankle sprain.

It's possible that Condon will get the start, although Anderson is on a roll. After he started both games on the weekend to finish the week 4-0 and grab his second NHL first star of the week, you get the feeling that Boucher just might keep going with the hot glove.

Yeah, I don't see how you start anyone other than for now. He's in #beastmode, and you just don't mess with that. Although Boucher did say something about soon they'll lose him for a bit....

Agreed. I think the only way doesn't start is if he is on personal leave to be with his wife or perhaps he actually asks the coach for the night off.

Hammond had been recalled. But Anderson is still slayed to start tonight. Sounds like this will be his last game for a little while as he will join Nicholle. Hammond brought up a little early to get some practice time in.

I hope he decides to play his way into a trade or contention for the NHL backup spot. No sulking allowed.

Agreed.

Whether he sulks or not, if he's not getting the results I'm sure the leash will be very short and they'll ride Condon and have Hammond ride the bench. If it's really bad they send him back down and put one of the young guys as backup.

Anderson and Lenher confirmed as starters. Assuming Condon is the backup and Hammond sits.

I hope this isn't the last time we see Anderson for a while.

I'm guessing it will be a week or so.

This game has "trap" written all over it.

And there's the first penalty.

That didn't take long.

Period is not half over add and the Sabres have two PP goals.

And now Ryan is out. Time for Lazar to get something going.
