(SportsNetwork. Superstar Rose Pale Femme .com) - The Buffalo Sabres have gotten more than adequate goaltending through their first three games, but a lack of goal scoring has left the club winless. The Sabres try to avoid their first 0-4 start in franchise history on Tuesday night as they play host to the Tampa Bay Lightning. You can watch the game on TSN2 at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt and follow along with our GameTracker. Buffalo has been outscored 7-2 in three losses to begin the season. Ryan Miller stopped 77-of-80 shots faced through the first two games, but did not dress in Saturdays 4-1 setback to the Pittsburgh Penguins due to a lower-body injury. Jhonas Enroth got the start in Millers place and made 31 saves on 34 shots faced. Thomas Vanek had the only goal for the Sabres, who are off to their worst start since beginning the 1999-2000 campaign 0-5 with a pair of ties. They are 0-for-13 on the power play this season. "Our goalies have stood on their head all three games and its unfortunate that we cant be better in front of them to kind of limit some of their shots and some of their chances," said Sabres defenseman Mike Weber. "Again, it all comes down to us finding a way to get some offense going, generate some offense and bear down and score goals." Miller did not practice on Monday and it is unknown if he will be able to dress for tonights game. However, forward Marcus Foligno is expected to play for the first time since suffering an upper-body injury in a Sept. 22 preseason game. Foligno had 18 points in 47 games a season ago. The Lightning have split their first two games of this season and used a late rally to best the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 in a shootout on Saturday. Martin St. Louis and Teddy Purcell scored less than two minutes apart just past the midway point of the third period and Valtteri Filppula scored in the first round of the shootout. Ben Bishop stopped all three skaters he faced in the tiebreaker to secure the win after posting 37 saves through overtime. It was certainly a slow start for the Lightning, who did not log a shot in the first period and got outshot 39-16 in the game. "We weathered the storm," Bolts forward Steven Stamkos said. "Our goalie made some big saves. He kept us in the game. Thats kind of the way this league goes." Tampa Bay wraps its season-opening three-game road trip tonight and will kick off a seven-game stay at home on Thursday. The Lightning have lost three of their past four versus the Sabres, who snapped a two-game slide in Tampa with a 3-1 victory last season. http:///...r-unisex-soldes.html . Ashley Youngs cross was inadvertently headed by Chester into his own net in the 66th minute, allowing United to claim a third straight league win. "We had to dig deep with our fighting spirit and weve done that," United striker Wayne Rooney said. http:///...ne-print-soldes.html .com) - The Montreal Canadiens will try to halt their longest losing streak of the season when they host the struggling New York Islanders in tonights clash at the Bell Centre. http://www.superstarrosepascher.fr/ . After a replay, the winner will meet Sunderland in the quarterfinals. Sagbo did well to control Sone Alukos right cross and fire past Brighton goalkeeper Peter Brezovan. Aluko was making his first start in four months after recovering from an Achilles injury.Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hello Mr. Fraser, In the Leafs and Pens game Wednesday night, it appeared that Evgeni Malkin pushed Leaf netminder Jonathan Bernier into the net before putting the puck in. Should this have been called goaltender interference resulting the goal being disallowed? Thank you!Andrew Shirtliff --- Hello Kerry, Was the game-tying goal by Malkin a good goal in your opinion? It looks like he pushed Bernier into the net with his forward motion before slapping the puck in the net. Not sure what the rule book says here and would like some clarification. Thank you! Ryan Sneek, Toronto Andrew and Ryan (and a vast multitude who submitted a question on this same play, I thank you), Evgeni Malkins game tying goal should have been disallowed by the referee(s) on two counts. (i) The puck slid under the pad of Leafs goalkeeper Jonathan Bernier as he established a butterfly position and made the initial save on Sidney Crosbys skate to stick redirection at the top of the crease. The puck remained trapped under Berniers pad (did not continue to slide toward the goal) constituting not only a "save" but a frozen puck with players crashing the crease. The whistle should have been blown to stop play in this instant or at the very least "intent to blow the whistle!" In fairness, a quick whistle was an unlikely option since the referee in the corner had a severely obstructed view looking through the backs of Crosby, and Leaf defendders Paul Ranger, Carl Gunnarson and Nazem Kadri. http://www.superstarrosepascher.fr/nike-roshe-one-soldes.html. What followed was a clear violation of rule 69 - Interference on the Goalkeeper. (ii) Rule 69.3 states, "If an attacking player initiates contact with a goalkeeper, incidental or otherwise, while the goalkeeper is in his goal crease, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed." (See also 69.6 - In the event that a goalkeeper has been pushed into the net together with the puck by an attacking player after making a stop, the goal will be disallowed) Evgeni Malkin used his stick intentionally and deliberately to push Berniers pad off the covered puck and in the process deposited both Bernier and the puck into the net. A conference should have been conducted by the four officials (standard operating procedure) and concluded from their various angles that goalkeeper interference had occurred and Bernier and the puck were illegally deposited into the net. While a minor penalty could have resulted to Evgeni Malkin for his deliberate and intentional contact with Jonathan Bernier (69.2) an argument could be made that Malkin was digging for what he thought to be a loose puck and no penalty would result. Either way (penalty or not) a clear violation of goalkeeper interference took place and the goal should have been waved off. This dirty goal is just another example for the ongoing need to allow the referee(s) to conduct a video review when goalkeeper interference is suspected. If a Coachs Challenge was allowed, Randy Carlyle would have rightly tossed the flag instead of just blowing a gasket to no avail.
