Their Northeast Division lead gone, the Buffalo Sabres are trying to close out their final two games before the Olympic break on a positive note. Visiting the red-hot Carolina Hurricanes might not be the best way for the Sabres to get back on track. Buffalo will try to avoid its longest losing streak in two seasons Thursday night when it faces a Hurricanes team that’s won seven of nine. The Sabres tied Washington atop the Eastern Conference with a 7-2 victory at Phoenix on Jan. 18, but with a 2-7-2 record since, Buffalo has lost its double-digit division lead over Ottawa, which has won 12 of 13 to forge a first-place tie.

Any sense of urgency coach Lindy Ruff expected from the Sabres on Tuesday against Boston was missing, as they allowed two first-period goals en route to a 3-2 overtime loss. The Sabres, who host Western Conference-leading San Jose on Saturday in their final game prior to the Olympics, will try to snap a six-game road losing streak with their first game at RBC Center since ending Carolina’s franchise-record 12-game home winning streak with a 5-1 victory April 9. The Hurricanes have outscored opponents 17-5 while winning a season-high four straight at home.
