Center Jiri Kulich scored twice in that game for the Sabres, defenseman Rasmus Dahlin had four assists, and goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 27 saves helping the Sabres head into the holiday break on a high note.

Chicago has also been off since Monday, when the Blackhawks lost to the Minnesota Wild 4-3. That was the Blackhawks’ second loss in a row after a three-game winning streak last week.

This Friday’s game will be the second matchup of the year between the Sabres and Blackhawks. They first met in mid-October in a game Buffalo won 4-2. Center Tage Thompson had a goal and an assist for the Sabres in that win, while Blackhawks center Craig Smith scored two goals in the loss. Both of those goals came just six minutes apart in the second period.

Chicago significantly outshot Buffalo in the loss, with 37 shots on net to Buffalo’s 22. Luukkonen made 35 saves in the win, two shy of his season high.

Puck drop for this one is set for 7:00 p.m. ET on Friday night. ESPN 2 will have the coverage of the game.
