Momentum in this rivalry has swung completely to the Buffalo Sabres and another loss could send the Toronto Maple Leafs into full sell mode before the trade deadline.
For the past few seasons, the Toronto Maple Leafs have dominated the rivalry with the Buffalo Sabres. However, this season the two franchises seem to be heading in very different directions.
Earlier this season, the Sabres and Maple Leafs played a back-to-back series where Buffalo took three of four points.
