Top Notes
- With their 10th win in a row, the Sabres have matched their franchise record for consecutive wins in a season. The record was originally set in January 1984 and tied in October 2006.
- In addition to the three official 10-game winning streaks, the Sabres have twice won at least 10 consecutive regular-season games during streaks that spanned two seasons: 15 games (April 8 to Oct. 26, 2006) and 11 games (April 1 to Oct. 26, 1975).
- The Sabres now have points in 10 straight games for the first time since they recorded points in 11 straight from Dec. 26 to Jan. 18, 2010 (8-0-3).
- Buffalo has won six straight home games for the first time since Nov. 28 to Dec. 15, 2014.

- Jeff Skinner’s 19th goal of the season tied him for the league lead. He is on pace for 65 goals this season, which would be the second-highest goal total in Sabres history, trailing only Alexander Mogilny (76) in 1992-93.
- With his goal tonight, Rasmus Ristolainen now has five points (1+4) in his last five games.
- Tage Thompson, who registered an assist on Ristolainen’s goal, now has four points (3+1) in his last five games.
