TONIGHT’S GAME SABRES at CAPITALS • This is the second of three meetings between the Sabres and Capitals this season. • Last meeting: Washington defeated Buffalo, 2-0, in Buffalo on Dec. 28 • Next meeting: Saturday, Jan. 16 in Buffalo • The Sabres are 3-4-3 in their last 10 games vs. the Capitals; 3-6-1 on the road. • This is the 151st game all-time between Buffalo and Washington; Buffalo has an 86-45-19 series record. • The Sabres are 41-24-10 on the road against the Capitals all-time.

THIS DATE IN SABRES HISTORY • The Sabres are 3-6-0 all-time on December 30. • December 30, 2006: The Sabres, led by a three-point night (2+1) from Thomas Vanek and a 29-save effort from Ryan Miller, defeat second-place Atlanta by a 4-1 margin to improve to a conference-leading 28-7-3 record.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW • The Sabres have played nine times on Dec. 30 in franchise history; four of those games have been against the Capitals (1988, 2002, 2008, 2011), including three in Washington. The Sabres have lost all four of these matchups. • After a 2-0 Capitals win on Monday in Buffalo, the Sabres are looking to avoid being swept for the first time in the franchise’s eight home-and-home series against the Capitals. • The Sabres will also look to avoid going winless in four straight matchups with the Capitals for the first time since March 5 to Dec. 21, 2000 (0-2-2 with two ties). • Seven of the 10 games between these teams since the beginning of the 2012-13 season have been decided by a single goal. • Tyler Ennis has 12 points (3+9) in his last 11 games against the Capitals. • Ryan O’Reilly (21:52) leads all NHL forwards in average ice time per game and Evander Kane (20:57) ranks fourth.

HOME-AND-HOME Tonight’s game is the second in a home-and-home series between the Sabres and Capitals that began with a 2-0 Capitals win in Buffalo on Monday. The Sabres and Capitals have previously played eight home-and-home series, with the Sabres going 4-3-1 (one tie) in the home games and 4-1-3 (three ties) in the road games. Buffalo’s points breakdown in these previous series is as follows: four points (3), three points (0), two points (3), one point (2), zero points (0).

NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN The Sabres and Capitals are meeting for the second time in three days after Washington’s 2-0 win in Buffalo on Monday. For the Sabres, this is the sixth of eight sets of games this season in which they’ll face the same opponent both home and away in a three- game span; two of these are home-and-home series. The next such set is a home-and-home series on Feb. 4 and 6 against Boston.

BACK-TO-BACK Tonight’s game opens Buffalo’s sixth of 15 sets of back-to-back games this season, which concludes tomorrow night vs. NYI. The Sabres are 2-3-0 in the first game of back-to-back sets and 2-3-0 in the second game so far this season. Buffalo’s point breakdown in previous back-to-back sets this season is: four points (1), three points (0), two points (2), one point (0) and zero points (2).

JACK ATTACK Jack Eichel recorded a career-high four points (2+2) on Saturday at Boston, becoming the first rookie to do so for the Sabres since Tyler Myers (1+3) on March 10, 2010 vs. Dallas. He was the second-youngest player ever to post a four-point game for the Sabres (Phil Housley, 18 years, Oct. 17, 1982 vs. Edmonton).

JOHNNY ON THE SPOT Chad Johnson has appeared in 14 games since the beginning of November, logging a 7-3-2 record with a .939 save percentage and a 1.81 goals-against average during that stretch. Johnson stopped a career-high 44 shots on Dec. 17 vs. Anaheim to earn his fourth career shutout, setting the Sabres’ franchise record for most saves in a regular-season shutout.

THE O’REILLY FACTOR • Ryan O’Reilly has 16 points (7+9) in his last 15 games, a stretch that included an eight-game point streak from Nov. 28 to Dec. 14. The point streak tied the longest streak of O’Reilly’s • O’Reilly (58.6%) ranked second in the league in faceoff percentage entering play Tuesday. O’Reilly also led the league with 882 faceoffs taken, accounting for 41.2% of Buffalo’s total faceoffs.

FINNISHING TOUCH • Entering play Tuesday, Rasmus Ristolainen ranked in the top 10 among NHL defensemen in goals (10th, 7), assists (T-11th, 17), points (T-9th, 24), shots (T-10th, 88) and multi-point games (T-7th, 6). • Ristolainen is the first Sabres defenseman to record five or more multi-point games in a season since Christian Ehrhoff had six in 2011-12. Jordan Leopold (2010-11) was the last Sabres defenseman to record seven multi-point games. • His four power-play goals are the most by a Sabres defenseman since 2010-11 (Jordan Leopold, 5). • With 24 points (7+17) in 36 games, Ristolainen is on pace for 55 points this season. If he reaches the 50-point mark, Ristolainen would be the first Sabres defenseman with 50 points in a season since Garry Galley (1995-96) and the youngest to reach that mark since Phil Housley.

YOUNG GUNS • If they maintain their current pace, Jack Eichel (11+9) and Sam Reinhart (8+7) would be the first pair of Sabres rookies to surpass the 30-point mark since Thomas Vanek (48) and Jason Pominville (30) did so in 2005-06. • Eichel (11) and Reinhart (8) are also nearly on pace to become the second pair of rookies in Sabres history to each record 20 goals in the same season. The first pair was Danny Gare (31) and Peter McNab (22) in 1974-75.

OUTSHOOTING OPPONENTS The Sabres have outshot their opponents in 18 of their first 36 games this season, posting a 6-11-1 record in those games. Last season, the team finished the season 5-5-0 in 10 total games when outshooting their opponent.

POSSESSION PROGRESSION The Sabres have led their opponent in even-strength attempts (corsi) in 16 of the team’s 36 games this season, going 6-8-2 in those games. Buffalo only led their opponents in even-strength shot attempts eight times throughout the entire 2014-15 season, going 3-5-0 in those eight games. (Data courtesy of war-on-ice.com)
