Preview: What to make of the Sabres heating up too late?

Lance Lysowski and Mike Harrington go on another shift for this week's edition of Ice Time — just hours after the Buffalo Sabres dispatched another playoff-bound team with a season sweep of the Ottawa Senators.

What to make of this too-late-too-little surge from the Sabres? Mike and Lance agree on this much: It's better than a late-season swoon. They discuss what it means for the future, if anything. The Sabres need to make the most of Alex Tuch and 39-goal Tage Thompson as they enter their prime years, and it's been nice to see Jack Quinn come on strong in March and April, as well.

But then there's the goaltending issue. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is supposed to be the No. 1, but his confidence appears to be shot. And although James Reimer has sparkled of late, he'll soon turn 38 and isn't likely to be a 40-to-45-game goalie next season.

The guys also discuss finding a long-searched-for right-handed partner for Owen Power on the blue line and a look at the wild race for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference — which, of course, could've included the Sabres, if not for that 13-game winless streak.
