Thomas In Net For Bruins Against Sabres
BOSTON (CBS) - Tim Thomas was the first goalie off the ice in Buffalo on Wednesday, meaning he will get the start against the Sabres.

Thomas is on a hot streak right now, posting back-to-back shutouts against the New York Islanders and Montreal Canadiens. He has stopped all 56 shots that have come his way over the stretch.
