Statistics through Friday.
Storyline: The Hawks will look to build on a 6-1 trashing of the Blue Jackets on Thursday night. Winger Patrick Sharp has a three-game points streak during which he has a goal and three assists. The Sabres are in a rebuilding process after jettisoning some of their top players before the trade deadline and have the fewest points in the league. Cody Hodgson leads them in scoring with 16 goals and 18 assists.
