I'll be histrionic, inspired by Randall — a magical season is sitting there on a platter, and all the Sabres have to do is take knife and fork to it. Win on a perfect night for it, and it's officially a hot streak, then don't look back.

Not sure the video isn't displaying. It's Don Henley. Duh.

Tonight at KeyBank Center, we're throwing it back to when the Sabres called Buffalo Memorial Auditorium home. It's Aud Night as Buffalo hosts the Nashville Predators. 

Faceoff is at 7 p.m. with pregame coverage on MSG starting at 6:30. For fans attending the game, they'll find a commemorative Aud Night T-shirt at their seat with the color representing one of the levels of The Aud.

Nearly 20 alumni from the 1980s are in town as well. They'll meet fans in the 100 level and in the Seneca Sports Lounge before the game. Be in your seats by 6:55 as they'll be honored on the ice before a special video open plays.

Before the game, the main Blue Zone Bar will host a happy hour with $5 Labatt drafts from 5 to 6:30 p.m. and live '80s music. The first 2,000 fans in attendance will also receive a special edition jersey koozie, courtesy of Labatt. All fans in attendance will find a T-shirt at their seat, and its color (red, blue, gold or orange) will correspond with a seating level of the Aud.

The following alumni are scheduled to attend:

Dave Andreychuk
Adam Creighton
Mike Foligno
Mike Hartman
Val James
Uwe Krupp
Kevin Maguire
Phil Myre
Wilf Paiement
Brent Peterson
Larry Playfair
Daren Puppa
Dave Schultz
Dave Snuggerud
John Tucker
John Van Boxmeer

  • The Sabres are 9-3-3 (.700) through their first 15 home games of the season, putting the team on pace to tie its ninth-best home record in a season. Buffalo has a plus-17 goal differential at home.
  • Jack Eichel enters today's game on a career-best 14-game point streak that began on Nov. 16. He has 12 goals, 25 points and a plus-16 rating during the streak.
  • Eichel's streak is the longest active point streak in the NHL and the second-longest streak in the league this season, one game shy of Patrick Kane's 15-game streak from Nov. 2 to 30 (11+13).
  • The streak is the longest by a Sabre since Tim Connolly tallied points in 16 consecutive games from Dec. 23, 2009 to Jan. 25, 2010. 
  • Only four players in Sabres history have recorded a point streak of more than 14 games: Dave Andreychuk (2x), Tim Connolly, Rick Martin and Gilbert Perreault.
  • Perreault holds Buffalo's franchise record with points in 18 consecutive games from Oct. 24 to Dec. 4, 1971 (10+21).

Any idea why Bogosian is out today?

Miller, McCabe, Scandella and now Bogosian, but not yet Risto, Montour or Joker: Ralph is moving these guys in and out in a manner that seems to basically reflect their level of recent play, yet not let anyone get stale and feel they aren't getting a chance.

It's going to get a lot harder with Rasmus back.
