Buffalo has played Florida four times this season. They are 1-3 against them, but three of the games have been decided by one goal, including one overtime contest. This will be a tough fought game to check out towards the end of next month.

Nashville is the hottest team in hockey right now. They are scoring at will and goaltender Pekka Rinne has reclaimed his spot among the elite goaltenders in the league. This game will be a true measuring stick for the Sabs heading into next season.

The Border Battles between Buffalo and Toronto are always extremely physical. The fans despise each other and there will likely be more fights than goals in the game. If you like hard-nose hockey, this is the game to watch.

Buffalo is 1-1 against the Canes this season. But Carolina, like Buffalo, is currently in dead last in their division. This could very well be the only game that Buffalo wins in April.

The thing that is so important about this game is that it is the last one of the 2014-15 season. Buffalo looked good at times this season, but they are clearly still in the middle of a rebuild. With the Pegulas at the helm, though, the future looks bright in the Queen City.
