Devils visit Lindy Ruff's former team in Sabres matchuip

When Lindy Ruff returns to the city he long called home Friday night, his New Jersey Devils will be looking to steady themselves for the trip to the playoffs the Buffalo Sabres still haven't made since dismissing him as head coach over a decade ago.

The Devils will look to snap a late-season slump when they visit the reeling Sabres in the second of three regular-season games between the clubs.

Both teams have been off since absorbing frustrating defeats Tuesday. Matt Boldy scored on the breakaway with 1.3 seconds left in overtime to lift the visiting Minnesota Wild past the Devils, 2-1. The host Sabres endured another multi-goal defeat when the Nashville Predators rolled to a 7-3 victory.
