Gionta scored two goals in Monday's 4-3 loss to Dallas, just the second time this season he's scored two goals in a game. The last time Gionta scored two goals was Nov. 18, but the Sabres captain seems determined to finish the season on a strong note with five points in his past five games. He's played more than 20 minutes in eight of his past 10 games, including 23:23 Monday night with seven shots on goal. Gionta's best days are over and his mini-hot streak might go as quickly as it came, but the Sabres face the Coyotes twice and the Avs and Leafs once each over their next four games, so he might be a good play.
