There is NHL action on Tuesday, Jan. 28 and that includes a matchup with Buffalo Sabres hosting the Boston Bruins at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY.

As the Bruins continue to see their playoff hopes dwindle, Brad Marchand addressed trade rumors hovering over him and his teammates.

The Bruins lost by a 7-2 score to the Sabres, who are at the very bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. They were outplayed in every aspect of the contest, and this can officially be labeled as one of Boston's most embarrassing losses of the 2024-25 season.

The lead lasted all of 55 seconds. The B’s top line got hemmed in its own end for much of the shift and, after it finally pushed it out of the zone, the players got caught in a change. On a Sabre 4-on-3, Matt Poitras got lost out high and Dylan Cozens connected with the wide-open trailer Thompson, who ripped a slapper past Swayman.

The Bruins are heading in the wrong direction, so let's look at three players who could be traded by the deadline.

On Tuesday, Thompson and Peterka became the first Sabres teammates with hat tricks in the same game since Derek Roy and Drew Stafford on Jan. 18, 2008. They finished the night with plus-six ratings, a feat no Sabres skater had accomplished since Richard Smehlik on Feb. 2, 1998.

Elias Lindholm will be back with the Bruins' top six, with Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle as his wingers. With this, Matthew Poitras will be dropping down to the third line. In addition, Justin Brazeau will be back on the third line, while Vinni Lettieri is expected to drop to the fourth line.
