Columbus, OH (My Sportsbook) - The Columbus Blue Jackets will try to stay undefeated in four all-time matchups with Buffalo when they welcome the Sabres to Nationwide Arena on Sunday.
Columbus, which has won two of its last three, will also attempt to reach the .500 mark at the latest point of a season in the team's brief history with a win.
The Blue Jackets enter Sunday's tilt on the heels of an impressive 4-2 victory over the Dallas Stars on Friday.
Andrew Cassels had a goal and an assist and Marc Denis stopped 38 shots for the Blue Jackets, who ran their home mark to 4-2-1-0 on the season.
Ray Whitney, Mike Sillinger and Tyler Wright also tallied for Columbus, whose only blemish in the last three games was a heartbreaking 3-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks with just over six seconds to play.
The Blue Jackets, who have scored first in seven straight games, finished 2- for-8 on the power-play versus the Stars and have netted a goal with the extra skater in nine out of 10 games this season.
Buffalo, on the other hand, comes into Sunday's contest on a five-game winless streak (0-3-2) and has found the win column just one time in its last nine games (1-5-3).
On Friday, the Sabres skated to a 1-1 tie with the Edmonton Oilers with Dmitri Kalinin scoring early in the third period to knot the game for Buffalo.
Mika Noronen made 39 saves for the Sabres, who have been outscored 12-5 in their last five games.
Miroslav Satan suffered a knee injury during Friday's loss and will likely miss tonight's game.
Columbus is 2-0-1 all-time against Buffalo.
