TV: MSG-B, BELL TV, FS-A+

Season series: Sam Gagner's power-play goal 56 seconds into overtime gave the Coyotes a victory against the Sabres at First Niagara Center this past Thursday.

Sabres team scope: Buffalo is 0-4-1 in its past five games, including a 5-3 road loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday, a game in which the Sabres had a 38-22 advantage in shots and scored three times in the third period. "We had a video session here today to talk about some of the things we did (Saturday) night. I think that was one of the most chances-per games that we played almost all season long," coach Ted Nolan told the Sabres website after an optional skate on Sunday. Leading scorer Tyler Ennis skated Sunday after sitting out the game in Denver with an upper-body injury.

Coyotes team scope: Arizona is back home after going 2-1-0 on a three-game trip against Eastern Conference opponents that ended with a 3-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. The Coyotes are 1-14-2 in their past 17 home games, including 0-6-1 in the past seven. They've also lost their past four home games to Buffalo. Mike Smith has started each of the Coyotes' past five games, and he is 4-0-1 in his past five decisions against the Sabres. Coyotes captain Shane Doan will be available after the NHL Department of Player Safety said he will not face supplemental discipline for a hit on Penguins defenseman Kris Letang, who left the game with what was diagnosed as a concussion.
