A few minutes after John Tortorella said Henrik Lundqvist would start, the word came that Lundqvist arrived at the Garden sick, and Martin Biron will play his fourth game tonight, against the Sabres.
Biron played parts of nine seasons in Buffalo. As an opponent, he is 7-3-0-1 against the Sabres. He is 1-2-0 this season, with a 2.37 GAA.
