Ryan Miller got his second shutout in 3 games tonight as the Devils were shutout for the second consecutive game. Nathan Gerbe and Thomas Vanek scored for the Sabres. Brad Boyes, Tim Connolly, Jason Pominville, and Paul Gaustad all picked up assists as Buffalo won it's last series of back-to-back home games. The team played great defensively, which is good after loosing #1 D-man Jordan Leopold for the rest of the year with a hand injury. Steve Montador, returning from an injury of his own, played well in his place. Leopold had a career high in points this year (35) and goals(13). Hopefully he'll be back for the playoffs. Buffalo now has a 5 point lead on Carolina. THis is a comfortable lead but they still need to build on it. New Jersey looked as if they were sleep walking in the 1st, but they came out roaring in the 2nd. Despite New Jersey's turning on the Turbo, they still couldn't beat Miller, who has let in 2 goals in his last 3 games.Miller will have to continue his dominant play if Buffalo wants to see the 2nd round. Buffalo will visit Toronto one last time on Tuesday at 7:00. Be sure to tune into that!

1-Ryan Miller
