This is the first of two meetings between the Sabres and Wild this season.

Last meeting: Minnesota defeated Buffalo, 3-2 (SO), in Buffalo on March 5

Next meeting: Tuesday, Nov. 1 in Minnesota

The Sabres are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games vs. the Wild; 2-6-1 in nine home games.

This is the 19th game all-time between Buffalo and Minnesota; Buffalo has an 8-9-1 series record.

The Sabres are 2-6-1 at home against the Wild all-time. THIS DAY IN SABRES HISTORY

The Sabres are 13-5-2 all-time on October 27.

October 27, 1970: Randy Wyrozub records the first two-goal game in franchise history in a 7-2 loss at Vancouver.

October 27, 1991: Pat LaFontaine plays in his first game as a Sabre, a 4-1 loss at Hartford.

October 27, 2013: The Sabres acquire Matt Moulson, a first-round pick in 2015 (later traded to Ottawa for Robin Lehner and David

Legwand) and a second-round pick in 2015 (Brendan Guhle) from the New York Islanders in exchange for Thomas Vanek. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

The Sabres are looking to avoid their first four-game winless streak since a 0-2-2 stretch in February.
