The Buffalo Sabres and Edmonton Oilers are the two worst teams in the NHL, and the Sabres are certainly deserving of that distinction as they're mired in the longest losing streak in franchise history.
They'll try to prevent it from reaching 13 tonight when they go for a fifth straight win in Edmonton.
The Oilers have lost four of six, with the victories coming against teams from the East. Edmonton, 9-7-1 against the opposing conference, returned from the All-Star break with a 2-1 loss to Minnesota on Tuesday....
....Buffalo (14-31-3) finished last in the league in 2013-14, and it's in the same position this season while sitting two points back of the Oilers (12-27-9), who are in the Western Conference cellar.
The Sabres' spiral to the bottom of the NHL has turned historic. They've set a team record with 12 straight losses, and they've all come in regulation for the longest such skid since Pittsburgh went 13 games in 2003-04.
Buffalo is also 0-11-1 in its last 12 on the road, surrendering an average of 4.58 goals while scoring 1.75 per game.....
