Back by popular demand, here are your Puck Previews: Spotlighting the key games in NHL action, news and views as well as general frivolity. Make sure to stop back here for the nightly Three Stars when the games are finished.

From reader Super Dave: “I happened to stumble upon this little gem at a quick trip to our friendly neighborhood Meijer store. Yes, this is a Matchbox car modeled after Reggie Dunlop’s gold Pontiac GTO from Slap Shot. Sadly, Ned and Lily Braden’s blue van is sold separately, and is apparently unavailable. Thought you’d get a kick out of this.”

Preview: Boston Bruins at Buffalo Sabres, 7:30 p.m. EST. James Patrick will coach the Sabres with Lindy Ruff out of action thanks to three broken ribs suffered in practice. Good news for the Sabres: Ryan Miler has a .962 save percentage in his last four games. Bad news for Sabres fans: Milan Lucic is a Boston Bruin, so Miller could end up in traction by night’s end. Tuukka Rask is in for the B’s.
