When the Winnipeg Jets won in Buffalo last month, they snapped the Sabres three-game winning streak and curbed any offensive confidence the Eastern Conference foe might have been building. Iman Shumpert Kings Jersey . It turns out that run was the beginning of whats been a larger turnaround for the Sabres, who head to Winnipeg tonight with hopes of posting their longest winning streak in three seasons. Viewers in the Jets region can watch the game live on TSN3 at 6pm ct. Buffalo (13-16-2) defeated Ottawa 5-4 in a shootout on Monday to conclude a 4-0-0 homestand, setting it up for its first five-game winning streak since March 19-27, 2012. This group of guys, theyre starting to believe in themselves, Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. Its Buffalos third winning streak of at least three games in the last month, and it amounts to a 10-3-0 record dating to Nov. 15. Only Chicago has more wins in that time. Offensively, the Sabres have averaged 2.62 goals per game during that run after scoring 19 goals in their first 17 games. Matt Moulson and Marcus Foligno both scored Monday and have three goals in three games. Tyler Ennis had an assist to give him six points on a four-game streak. The latest win did include blowing a 3-1 second-period lead, but the focus after was understandably positive after escaping with two points. You turn the corner and you just hope you keep taking off, said Foligno, whose three-game goal streak comes after managing two in his first 22 games. Its been a while since the feeling has been like this in this room. Road games, however, remain a struggle for the Sabres, who are 4-9-0 with just 19 away goals. So have been games against the Jets. Buffalo is 1-7-1 with 11 goals scored in the series since Jan. 7, 2012. Its been especially bad in Winnipeg, where the Sabres are 0-4-0 with three goals scored since the Jets relocated. That bodes (15-10-6) well for the Jets, who are looking to recover from Saturdays 4-1 loss to Anaheim to open a four-game homestand. Winnipeg, though, has dropped three of four. Bryan Little scored against the Ducks and also tallied against the Sabres last month as part of a 10-game stretch with seven goals and three assists. He wants to see improvement against top teams, and classifying the Sabres as such at the moment might be a safe move. Everything we do when were playing good, we have to do even better when were playing against a top team, Little told the teams official website. I dont know if we change our game, if we try to do too much or too little, but thats something we need to figure out. If were going to have a shot at this thing, we need to figure out how to beat the top teams in the league. Coach Paul Maurice has been alternating between Ondrej Pavelec and Michael Hutchinson in net, so Pavelec figures to face the Sabres. He hasnt lost in regulation since Nov. 23 and has a 2.44 GAA over the 2-0-2 stretch. Against Buffalo, hes got a 1.38 GAA during a 7-1-0 run. For the Sabres, Jhonas Enroth has been in goal for the entire winning streak and is 9-2-0 with a 2.20 GAA in his last 11 appearances. One of those losses was to the Jets, which dropped him to 0-3-1 in the series, despite a 2.02 GAA. Should Buffalo switch things up, Michal Neuvirth was 6-2-1 with a 2.74 GAA against the Jets in his time with Washington. Neuvirth has played once since Nov. 18 - a 3-2 loss in Florida on Dec. 6.

City has reached new heights under manager Manuel Pellegrini as they transition from big spending/immediate impact to perennial contender. Yaya Toures seeming discontent Tuesday may complicate that, as does the little issue of Financial Fair Play.DENVER -- Josh Harding was brilliant in regulation and only got better from there, showing why hes one of the leagues top goaltenders. Harding made two glove saves in the shootout and Mikko Koivu scored the deciding goal as the Minnesota Wild rallied for a 2-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night. "If Harding isnt as good as he is, we score a few more," lamented Matt Duchene, who had the Avalanches lone goal in the shootout. But he is that good, lowering his goals-against average to an NHL-best 1.49. Harding had 26 saves and then nonchalantly described his performance by saying, "I felt good." This was a big road win for the Wild after losing in San Jose and Anaheim. That they mustered this sort of come-from-behind effort in their third contest in four days made it all the more impressive to coach Mike Yeo. "After two periods, Im thinking to myself, Man, we look like we have nothing in the tank. We look tired," Yeo said. "There were plays or decisions we made that are usually kind of a result of fatigue. The way they stepped up in the third period, the way they kept themselves in the game, the way they battled to give ourselves a chance to score that goal -- that was a big character win." Trailing 1-0, Nino Niederreiter tied the game with 3:53 remaining in regulation when he deflected in a shot from Ryan Suter in front of the net. Perhaps only fair, since Colorado scored its lone goal in regulation when a shot clanked in off the skate of Maxime Talbot. "Two fluky goals," Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said. "They were not pretty goals, but at the same time part of the game." Koivus goal was nifty, sending a backhand just over Semyon Varlamov and just under the crossbar. Zach Parise also scored for the Wild in the shootout. So, is that the type of shot Koivu envisioned all along? "Im not going to tell you what I wanted to do because every time we go against these guys were in a shootout," Koivu said. After Duchene scoredd to open the shootout, Harding stopped P. Tyler Lydon Kings Jersey. A. Parenteau and Ryan OReilly to preserve the win. "I dont think we played bad hockey," Duchene said. "I thought we played a heck of a hockey game. Were having tough luck right now. We made a lot of good plays and the one that goes in for us hits a skate and goes in. I thought maybe the bounces were going to go our way." Midway through the second period, Cory Sarich unleashed a shot from just inside the blue line that deflected off of Talbots skate and past Harding. It was Talbots second goal for the Avs since being acquired from Philadelphia on Oct. 31. Niederreiter tied it up when his deflection trickled past Varlamov. Once again, the Avalanche struggled on the power play. Theyre now 0 for 26 over their last 10 games. It was a clean first period, with no goals and just one penalty on Minnesotas Jonas Brodin for interference. Harding came up big in the opening 20 minutes and stopped all 11 shots he faced, including a point-blank attempt from Cody McLeod. Defenceman Jan Hejda was back on the ice for Colorado after missing a week with a right knee injury. He had to be helped off the ice in Edmonton on Dec. 5 after losing an edge and going feet first heavily into the boards. "Wasnt as bad as how it looked on television," Hejda joked before the game. NOTES: The Wild juggled their lines after recalling C Erik Haula from Iowa of the American Hockey League on Friday. ... The Avalanche held a moment of silence before the game for Arapahoe High School staff, students and families who were affected by the shooting at the suburban Denver school on Friday. ... Avalanche D Ryan Wilson (back) missed his 17th straight game, but may be moving closer to a return. "We want him to have a couple of practices before he plays," Roy said. ... F John Mitchell played in his 300th game. "Its a good number," said Mitchell, who had an assist on Talbots goal. ... The Avs are 2-0-1 against the Wild this season. ' ' '
