Up next for the Ducks: Tuesday at Buffalo

AT BUFFALO

When: 4 PST.

Where: HSBC Arena.

On the air: TV: None; Radio: 830.

Records: Ducks 18-15-4, Sabres 13-16-4.

Record vs. Sabres (2009-10): 1-0-0.

Update: Buffalo has been struggling to produce goals. That didn’t change after Saturday’s 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, giving the Sabres a 2-15 record when trailing after two periods. But now the Sabres will be without center Tim Connolly, who will undergo reconstructive surgery. In the first period against the Lightning, Connolly suffered a fractured nose after being driven into the boards by Nate Thompson. The Ducks, meanwhile, are 2-2 so far on this five-game swing through the East. They return to the Southland for a game against the Kings at Staples Center on Sunday.
