KEY GAME INFORMATION
BUFFALO: LAST SEASON: 23-51-8, 54 points. Last-place in NHL for second consecutive year.
COACH: Dan Bylsma (first season, seventh NHL season).
ADDED: C Ryan O'Reilly, C Jack Eichel, C David Legwand, G Robin Lehner, D Cody Franson, LW Jamie McGinn.
LOST: D Nikita Zadorov, D Andrej Meszaros, C Cody Hodgson, C Mikhail Grigorenko, G Anders Lindback.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Eichel. Selected with the No. 2 pick in the NHL draft in June, the Boston University product and college hockey's MVP last season has already showed flashes of his "once-in-a-generation" billing with an effortless skating style and play-making potential. He impressed coach Bylsma, who noted Eichel's play away from the puck is better than anticipated. With O'Reilly centering top line, the 18-year-old will immediately step in to center second line.
OUTLOOK: Finally looking up in Buffalo after two seasons of upheaval during which general manager Tim Murray purged team of veteran high-priced talent, and re-stocked it with a young, promising core. The newcomers include forward Evander Kane, who is set to make Sabres debut. Kane was sidelined by a season-ending shoulder injury when Buffalo acquired him in a trade from Winnipeg in February. Goaltending remains a question mark, and it's unclear how long it will take for the many new pieces to start gelling. Premature to expect Buffalo to challenge for a playoff spot after two seasons in which team combined for NHL-lows with 44 wins and 303 goals.
DETROIT: LAST SEASON: 43-25-14, 100 points. Lost to Tampa Bay Lightning in first round.
COACH: Jeff Blashill (first season, first NHL season).
ADDED: C Brad Richards, D Mike Green, C Dylan Larkin.
LOST: Coach Mike Babcock, C Stephen Weiss, G Jonas Gustavsson.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Tomas Tatar. The 24-year-old Czech winger had a team- and career-high 29 goals last season, increasing his total by 10 from the previous year. Tatar has developed chemistry with 35-year-old center Brad Richards and may end up leading the team in scoring after trailing just Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk in points last season.
OUTLOOK: It's tough to count out the Red Wings because they've been to 24 straight postseasons, winning four Stanley Cups during the remarkable stretch. Detroit seems to have struck a balance between leaning on veterans and counting on younger players to produce. The key competition will be in net, where Jimmy Howard is trying to hold off Petr Mrazek after losing his job to him during the playoffs.
PREVIEW
Sabres-Red Wings Preview
By KEVIN MASSOTH STATS Writer

At first glance, the Detroit Red Wings' point streak looks pretty good. A closer look, though, reveals a negative trend.

The Red Wings hope a meeting against a team they have cleaned up against will keep them from leaving any more points on the table when the Buffalo Sabres visit Tuesday night.

Detroit's seven-game point streak is its best in four years, and another against the Sabres would give the franchise its longest since going 12 in a row from March 11-April 3, 2010.

The Red Wings (12-8-4) are 4-0-3 since Nov. 16 after losing three of their previous four games. But a sour taste resonates considering they've played six overtimes in seven games and four extra periods in a row. The last four - two wins and a pair of losses - came after Detroit blew leads in the third period.

"It's been frustrating," center Luke Glendening told the team's official website. "I think it's been my line the last four games or five games here, so we have to figure... a way to hold on."

The Red Wings have surrendered five goals in the closing three minutes this season to force overtime, and they've coughed up 29 goals overall in the final five minutes of periods - tied for the second most in the league.

Detroit has played nine overtime games already, its most in the first two months of a season since the league reintroduced the extra period in 1983-84. A single-season high for Detroit is 27 in 1996-97.

"We're getting leads and playing pretty well for most of the game, but we're not closing it out," left winger Drew Miller said. "Obviously you don't want to give up leads late in the third period, but I don't think it's something we're going to worry about."

What might help is a game against the Sabres.

The Red Wings are 26-2-2 with one tie against Buffalo since March 27, 1996, including an 11-0-1 mark since March 13, 2010. They have won 15 of the last 16 in Detroit, losing once in overtime to earn 31 of a possible 32 points.

Buffalo (10-12-2) has finally found its offense, though, to log consecutive wins after an 0-4-2 stretch.

The Sabres scored seven goals during their losing streak but linked together consecutive 4-1 victories over Carolina on Friday and Nashville on Saturday.

They went 2 for 4 on the power the Predators, snapping a five-game drought on the man advantage.

''Critical,'' coach Dan Bylsma said. ''We've had the power-play situation before recently and it's been at critical times.''

Both power-play tallies, a Jamie McGinn rebound and a Sam Reinhart wrist shot, followed a Viktor Arvidsson major penalty for cross-checking when his stick hit Sabres defenseman Carlo Colaiacova in the throat.

Arvidsson was assessed a game misconduct and Colaiacova did not return and was taken to the hospital as a precaution, though he practiced on Monday.

"Obviously it was a scary incident and at the time it was pretty painful, but it is what it is," Colaiacovo told the Sabres' official website. "Right now, it's not really stopping me from doing much."

Buffalo will face Petr Mrazek, who holds a 2.19 goals-against average and .932 save percentage in 14 appearances. Mrazek was pulled midway through the first period against the Sabres on Jan. 18 after allowing three goals on seven shots.

It's unclear if Chad Johnson or Linus Ullmark will start for Buffalo.
