Who: The Toronto Maple Leafs against the Buffalo Sabres
What: The 43rd game of the 2011-12 regular season
When: 7:30
Where: TSN, or on the radio at AM640
The Sabres look for revenge after Jonas Gustavsson shut them out on Tuesday. The Leafs lineup will remain the same, as Gardiner will watch from the press box, and Komisarek will play the left side. Miller gets the start, and Roy should be returning to the Sabres' roster.
This is the first of a back-to-back for the Leafs, and Ron Wilson is staying true to his "win and you're in" comment, as Gustavsson will try to extend the Leafs' winning streak to 5. The Leafs have taken just three shorthanded shots on goal over their last three games, and given the PK's season percentage, should try to avoid putting their system and players to the test.

Ennis, Stuart, Sekera, and Mr. Moneybags Ehrhoff are their season-destroying injured scratches. Poor Pegula doesn't watch the rest of the league much.
