The Washington Capitals will face the Buffalo Sabres for the fourth time in six games on Sunday afternoon.

The game was originally scheduled for 7 p.m. but the game got moved back to 3 p.m. during the football games. All good, this game is just as important.

The Caps have won each of the first three matchups against the Sabres and their nine straight home wins over Buffalo dating back to March 3, 2015, marks the longest active run against one opponent.

The Caps are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games against Buffalo.

The Caps were outplayed in each of the previous three meetings against the Sabres but still found a way to come out on top. Most recently they prevailed over the Sabres on Friday night in their home opener in the shootout despite being without their Russian four.

John Carlson was the lone player to score in the shootout. It wasn’t the prettiest win but they won and that’s all that matters. Tom Wilson did not practice on Saturday. Daniel Carr and Connor McMichael practiced with the main group but as of this writing, Peter Laviolette isn’t sure what he’s going to do with the lineup.

The Caps defense looked different in the practice on Saturday. Zdeno Chara skated with Justin Schultz and Trevor van-Riemsdyk and Jonas Siegenthaler slotted into the third pair. What lines and d pairs will they use in Sunday’s rematch? Only one way to find out.
