Buffalo Sabres

The Sabres are still the biggest underdogs in the Eastern Conference, and Lindy Ruff cannot turn things around. The Sabres have played some decent hockey over the last five games, but how many games do they have left? Remember, they managed to upset Vancouver, Boston, and Nashville in that stretch, but Calgary and Edmonton were not strong enough.

New Jersey Devils

The Devils are slowly regaining their lost ground but are no longer in Olympus. Washington has settled in nicely and is ten points ahead of the Devils. New Jersey has started playing well but has not found any consistency. In their last five games, they have won three and lost two, scoring 17-10 - only seventh in the Eastern Conference. Wins have come against Boston (5-1), Montreal (4-3 OT) and Philadelphia (5-0).
