Okay, here's a news article about the Red Wings game against the Sabres:

The Detroit Red Wings, currently riding a five-game winning streak, face a road test against the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center tonight at 7:30 PM EDT. Detroit sits atop the Atlantic Division with a 5-1-0 record, a stark contrast to Buffalo's 2-4-0 start. The game will be broadcast live on TNT.

Detroit has surged to the top of the division after stumbling in their season opener. Their winning streak includes victories against formidable opponents such as the Toronto Maple Leafs (twice), Tampa Bay Lightning, Florida Panthers, and Edmonton Oilers. Despite this strong performance, the team faces a challenging stretch with seven of their next eight games on the road.

"We want to keep it simple and don't want to fuel their power play in any kind of situation. Those are usually momentum changers," said Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider, emphasizing the importance of a focused approach on the road. "Be simple with the puck, get shots early, and make them defend — pin them in their own zone and hopefully strike on offense".

The Red Wings will be without forward Patrick Kane, who is sidelined with an upper-body injury sustained in Friday's game against Tampa Bay. Coach Todd McLellan indicated Kane will miss at least the next two games. Lucas Raymond will replace Kane in the lineup.

Captain Dylan Larkin has been a key factor in Detroit's success, earning the NHL's First Star of the Week after recording nine points in four games. Larkin is currently on a six-game point streak to start the season. "Everything a captain should be," McLellan said of Larkin.

The Buffalo Sabres, who have struggled to find consistency this season, will be starting rookie goaltender Colten Ellis, who was called up from the Rochester Americans and is set to make his NHL debut. The Sabres have high expectations for the young goaltender. Despite Lyon’s recent play, the Sabres are giving Ellis a chance. Buffalo has earned at least one point in each of their last 12 home matchups against the Red Wings, holding a 6-1-5 record in those games.

"I think tonight he's going to get a pretty good look, really, with us. So we may get to see a little bit more," Ruff said about Ostlund. Beck Malenstyn will also return to the lineup after missing Monday's game. Michael Kesselring is getting closer to joining the lineup.

The Sabres are looking to bounce back after a 4-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Monday. Zach Benson has been a bright spot for Buffalo, registering six assists in his first three games. However, the Sabres have struggled defensively, ranking in the bottom half of the league in both expected goals for and against per 60 minutes.

Coach McLellan doesn't believe in trap games, despite Buffalo's current record. He recognizes that the Sabres always present a challenge, regardless of their standing. The Red Wings hold a 6-3-1 record in their last 10 games against Buffalo and went 2-1-1 against them in the 2024-25 season.

With Detroit's strong start and Buffalo's uncertainty in net, the Red Wings look to extend their winning streak. However, the Sabres' home record against Detroit suggests that the Wings will need to bring their best game to secure a victory.
