EDMONTON -- Welcome from Alberta, where it's not as cold as I figured it'd be. The Sabres kick off their four-game Western trip tonight against Edmonton. It's followed by Wednesday's visit to Calgary, Saturday's stop in Phoenix and Monday's fight in Anaheim.
All four teams hold a Western Conference playoff spot (though the Ducks have the benefit of extra games played). So what do you expect of the Sabres away from home?
