| | | WINNIPEG: WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) - Jets coach Claude Noel speaks in simple, straight-forward terms a lot of the time. He is one of these what-you-see-is-what-you-get leaders.
So, it should come as no surprise to see his illustration for Winnipeg this season, especially when his Jets just missed the playoffs last season.
``I clearly see that we have to make the playoffs,'' he said in June. ``But it's not easy to make the playoffs.''
He's right.
Last season, the Jets finished ninth in the East, four points behind the No. 8 New York Islanders. Winnipeg captured hearts in Canada and was in contention into the final week of the season. In the end, the Jets seemed to have everything, in fact, except a berth.
So, like some other teams in Canada - Calgary and Edmonton last year - the Jets will try, try again to find that elusive spot this season. It won't be easy, as Noel points out. The Jets are now in the Western Conference, as part of NHL realignment, and are in a division with Stanley Cup-champion Chicago, Minnesota and St. Louis.
Winnipeg opens vs. Edmonton on Oct. 1. | | BUFFALO: BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Buffalo Sabres coach Ron Rolston is tempering his initial expectations after all the changes the team made over the past year.
Rolston is opening his first full season after taking over in February when Lindy Ruff was fired. And he's overseeing a roster that's been transformed following the team's youth movement over the past two seasons.
And more changes could be in store with goalie Ryan Miller and forward Thomas Vanek's futures uncertain beyond this season.
That has led Rolston to caution that he doesn't expect the Sabres to start revealing their true potential until a few months into the season.
Patience remains the watchword in Buffalo, for a franchise that's missed the playoffs in four of the past six seasons.
The Sabres open at Detroit on Oct. 2. |

*Jets-Sabres Preview* =====================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Winnipeg (14-15-5) at Buffalo (7-23-3), 7:00 p.m. EDT
Evander Kane provided a spark for the Winnipeg Jets in his return from injury. The Buffalo Sabres are hoping Cody Hodgson can do the same.
Winnipeg looks for its seventh straight victory in the series Tuesday night when it travels to Buffalo.
Kane, who hadn't played since Nov. 29 when he suffered a lower-body injury, made an immediate impact in a 3-2 win at Columbus on Monday. He tallied the game-winning goal at the 10:35 mark of the third period and also assisted on Mark Scheifele's goal in the second.
The Jets (15-15-5) went 2-3-1 without him and had dropped three in a row prior to Tuesday's victory. His seven goals at the time of injury were tied for the second most on the team.
"I put on my skates and I tried to help this team win - that's just how I am," Kane said.
Buffalo (7-23-3) which hasn't beaten Winnipeg since a 6-5 overtime victory at home Nov. 8, 2011, is hoping to get Hodgson back for Tuesday's contest. He sat out the Sabres' last two games due to a lower-body injury but practiced Monday. Interim coach Ted Nolan told the team's website that defenseman Alexander Sulzer - who missed the club's last five games with an upper-body injury - is also likely to come off injured reserve.
Hodgson leads Buffalo with 18 points.
"I obviously want to play and I want to contribute," Hodgson, who owns a minus-3 rating in four games against Winnipeg with one assist, told the team's website. "I think I can help the team, so I just have to make sure everything's good."
The Sabres' power play - already one of the league's worst this season, scoring on just 13.1 percent of chances - floundered in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to Calgary. Matt Moulson was responsible for the lone goal while Buffalo was scoreless on five opportunities with the man advantage. The Sabres have two power-play goals on 27 chances (7.4 percent) over their last nine games.
Hodgson is responsible for four of the team's 13 power-play goals.
While his return should be a boost, the Sabres are expected to be without center Cody McCormick for four to six weeks after he suffered an injury while blocking a shot in Saturday's loss.
Al Montoya stopped 22 saves in Winnipeg's win Monday. He earned the nod in favor of Ondrej Pavelec after Pavelec surrendered five goals in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Dallas. Pavelec has struggled of late, going 0-3-1 over his last four starts with a 4.03 goals-against average.
Tuesday could be a favorable stage for Pavelec, however, as he's started each of Winnipeg's six straight victories in the series, allowing exactly one goal in each while stopping 161 of 167 shots (.964 save percentage).
Meanwhile, Ryan Miller has struggled, recording a 3.41 GAA in his last five starts against the Jets.
