Watch Detroid vs Buffalo 7:00 PM ET, October 13, 2009 at HSBC Arena New York. The Detroit Red Wings have bounced back from their empty season-opening trip to Sweden with a pair of wins at Joe Louis Arena, but they’ve yet to play a road game on North American soil.

The Buffalo Sabres, however, have rarely failed in making the Red Wings feel at home.
Detroit has won 15 of its last 18 meetings with Buffalo, and it’ll look to continue that dominance Tuesday night at HSBC Arena against what’s so far been the league’s stingiest team.

The Red Wings (2-2-0) began their season in Stockholm against St. Louis, but the defending Western Conference champions couldn’t muster a point from either game, blowing two-goal leads in each to lose in regulation.

Detroit trailed in each of its first two home games, but didn’t have a problem coming from behind in either. The Red Wings scored twice on the power play in a 3-2 win over Chicago on Thursday, then got two more goals with the man advantage Saturday in a 3-2 victory over Washington.
