Road record is safe
One of the Sabres' most recent nuggets of NHL history will stay on the books as the New Jersey Devils lost Monday night in Philadelphia, 3-2. That ended the Devils' string of road victories to start the season at nine -- one shy of the Sabres' mark of 10 in a row that opened the 2006-07 season. Once in a while, folks in Buffalo actually have something to thank the Flyers for.
Never like to pump Versus but the network had that one Monday will have another big one Tuesday when Alexander Ovechkin likely makes his return for the Capitals in Madison Square Garden against the Rangers.
