The Buffalo Sabres will have many important games to play next season, but their most important games could be against their Atlantic Division rivals.
As such, we've been putting together a team-by-team series on each of Buffalo's seven Atlantic rivals. And in this file, we're focusing on the Tampa Bay Lightning.
But feel free to weigh in with your opinion by posting your comment below. Do you think the Sabres can beat the Bolts in their four games they play against each other next season? And do you think Buffalo can finish ahead of Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference standings? Let us know -- and be sure to register as a community member here at THN.com.
