Game is at 4 pm.
The Buffalo Sabres may have put an end to the franchise's longest overall losing streak, but their road woes still remain.
The Sabres look to earn their first road win in nearly a month and avoid losing eight straight away from home for the first time in franchise history on Monday when they visit the Phoenix Coyotes for the first time in five years.
After ending a franchise-record 10-game losing streak with a 10-1 rout of Atlanta on Friday, Buffalo (20-20-6) opened a seven-game road trip Saturday with a 4-2 loss at Toronto.
"Back-to-back games aren't easy, but the position that we're in, we need to win these back-to-backs," Sabres defenseman Brian Campbell said.
Buffalo also needs to figure out how to win away from HSBC Arena.
The Sabres have lost seven straight road games since a 6-5 shootout victory over Philadelphia on Dec. 22. They have been outscored 20-9 during the slide, and have been stopped on all 25 of their power-play opportunities.
With Saturday's loss at Toronto, Buffalo matched the 37-year-old franchise's longest road losing streak, set most recently Jan. 10-Feb. 3, 1996.
