Um....
Here's what you need to know.
With a win tonight, the Sabres will have won the season series between the teams for the second consecutive year. A win would also give the Sabres wins in three consecutive home games against the Flyers for the first time since Oct. 17, 2006 to Dec. 21, 2007.
Eichel enters tonight's game on a career-best 10-game point streak (3+10). It's the longest active streak in the NHL and the longest by a Sabre since Tim Connolly tallied points in 16 straight from Dec. 23, 2009 to Jan. 25, 2010.
In the time since his Nov. 29 return from an injury that sidelined him for 21 games, Eichel is tied for 10th among all NHL skaters with 42 points (16+26) and leads the league with 185 shots on goal.
Eichel's .93 points per game this season rank him 14th among all players with at least 20 games played this season.
Kane has 18 points (11+7) in his last 20 games, including nine goals in his last 13.
Risto has a point in 11 of his last 16 games (1+10).
O'Reilly has recorded six points (3+3) during his current four-game point streak.
