KEY GAME INFORMATION
ARIZONA: LAST SEASON: 29-41-12, 70 points. Last in Pacific Division.
COACH: Rick Tocchet (second season, fourth NHL season).
ADDED: C Alex Galchenyuk, F Michael Grabner, F Vinnie Hinostroza, D Jordan Oesterle, D Ilya Lyubushkin.
LOST: F Max Domi, F Jordan Martinook, D Luke Schenn, C Zac Rinaldo.
PLAYER TO WATCH: F Clayton Keller. The skilled forward had a super rookie season, finishing with 23 goals and 42 assists while becoming a finalist for the Calder Trophy, awarded to the NHL's best rookie. Keller had a midseason lull after a superb start to his rookie season and the Coyotes are hoping for even more production his second season as he gains more consistency.
OUTLOOK: The thought of a playoff push had been considered a longshot at best the past few seasons. It could be a reality this season with a still young but talented roster, a year under Tocchet's system and
ADDED scoring depth. A big key will be keeping goalie Antti Raanta healthy after he was limited to 47 games a year ago. Do that and get the scoring boost they're expecting and don't be surprised to see the Coyotes in the playoff hunt late in the season.
BUFFALO: LAST SEASON: 25-45-12, 62 points. Finished last in NHL standings for third time in five years.
COACH: Phil Housley (second season, second NHL season).
ADDED: LW Jeff Skinner, LW Conor Sheary, C Tage Thompson, C Patrik Berglund, C Vladimir Sobotka, rookie D Rasmus Dahlin, D Matt Hunwick, D Lawrence Pilut, G Carter Hutton.
LOST: C Ryan O'Reilly, G Robin Lehner, LW Benoit Pouliot, D Victor Antipin, D Josh Gorges, C Jordan Nolan, G Chad Johnson.
PLAYER TO WATCH: All eyes will be on Dahlin, the 18-year-old Swedish-born smooth-skating, play-making defenseman selected with the first pick in the draft. Dahlin has such potential, Hockey Hall of Fame
COACH and nine-time Stanley Cup-winner Scotty Bowman says the youngster has the potential to become the best defenseman in Sabres history. Dahlin has already roused a fan base, which jammed the Sabres 1,800-seat practice facility to see him perform during the team's rookie camp in June and a four-team prospects tournament earlier this month.
OUTLOOK: The Sabres can't get much worse than the over-priced and under-achieving squad that won three straight games just once, and endured losing streaks of four or more games seven times last season. Things became so grim, O'Reilly in April revealed he
LOST his passion for playing at times, and a losing mentality crept into the locker room. O'Reilly was traded to St. Louis in one of numerous moves GM Jason Botterill made to overhaul a roster that will feature anywhere between nine and 12 players not in the season-opening lineup a year ago. The question is how long it will take for the newcomers to find chemistry.
PREVIEW
Sabres hope to heat up again vs. Coyotes

The Arizona Coyotes and the Buffalo Sabres go into their game at KeyBank Centre on Thursday night after contrasting results in their games Tuesday night.

The Coyotes could not hold a two-goal lead, allowing four goals in five minutes during the second period, and lost 4-3 to the Boston Bruins.

The Buffalo Sabres, meanwhile, came back from a two-goal deficit in the third period and defeated the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 in overtime.

The Coyotes (13-14-2) led 2-0 in Boston before the Bruins scored twice in 33 seconds apart. Brad Marchand gave the Bruins the lead about two minutes later and added another two minutes later.

"It was those three minutes," Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said. "We played a good hockey game for 50. Two-nothing, there, we backed off again. It's very frustrating. We cannot back off. That's something that we've got to keep pressing here. It's a learning process."

The Sabres (18-9-4), who wrap up a four-game homestand Thursday, had a different story to tell. It was about hard work down the stretch to overcome a 3-1 deficit that ended a five-game winless streak.

"I think in the third we just committed to putting the puck in their end and just trying to wear them down," Sabres center and captain Jack Eichel said. "You see it, we draw a couple penalties, our power play is able to score a few goals. I thought we just wore them down."

"I think when the guys dug in and found a way to win it's because of their work, especially in the third period," Sabres coach Phil Housley said. "We were moving our feet. our transition game was really solid, clean and crisp."

The Sabres were 0-3-2 in the five games after reeling off 10 straight wins and were coming off a 6-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers Saturday, a game they led 2-0.

The Sabres are facing a testing schedule with two road games in Boston and Washington Saturday and Sunday after they play the Coyotes.

"We've got a tough stretch coming up here," Eichel said. "Arizona's playing some good hockey and then you've got a back-to-back against two of the top teams in the East. We've just got to start playing a better 60 minutes. We can learn from that third period and what makes our team successful and why we're good. I think there's some things to be learned but it's good to get two points, because we needed it."

The Sabres are 6-7-2 when trailing after two periods.

Eichel has had success against the Coyotes with 10 points in seven career games against Arizona. Kyle Okposo (one goal, six assists) and Jeff Skinner (three goals, four assists) each has seven points in their past six games against the Coyotes and Rasmus Ristolainen (two goals, six assists) has eight points in nine career games against them.

Arizona defenseman Alex Goligoski has 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists) in 23 career games against the Sabres.

Coyotes center Alex Galchenyuk missed the game Tuesday because of a lower-body injury and is considered day to day.

Arizona did have goaltender Darcy Kuemper back Tuesday after he missed nearly three weeks with a lower-body injury and stopped 22 of 26 shots. His best save came on a breakaway by Marchand in the first period.

"I was pretty happy with a lot of parts of my game today," Kuemper said. "A few things, just some reads and timing, I've got to watch the video and get a little bit better at, but overall I felt pretty good in there."

Michael Bunting, recalled from the American Hockey League last Friday, scored Arizona's third goal in his NHL debut Tuesday.

"I thought it went pretty well," Bunting said. "At the start, I had my jitters. Right when the national anthem hit, it was like 'All right, I'm in an NHL game.' After that I just played simple at the start of the game and I was lucky enough to put one by the goalie. ... To get that under my belt in the first game is pretty special. I'm going to remember that for the rest of my life."

Arizona defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson logged 20:39 in ice time and blocked three shots in his 700th NHL game on Tuesday, the 15th player from the 2005 NHL Draft class to reach that plateau.
