‘”I just want to win games,” Hutton said after the win. “I think people see that competitive side of me. Coming in here, we obviously had a younger team, and it was a transition. You hear all the talk coming in and everything that needed to change.”‘

Sabres complete improbable comeback, beat Canucks in shootout ★
‘”You look at probably the last few years, it’s been a little bit tougher to come back in games,” Eichel, who missed most of the first period and part of the second for what Phil Housley later called a lower-body injury, said afterward. “This year we’ve had some third periods where we’re down or trailing or maybe we give a goal up we’re not happy about, but I think the resiliency in this group and that never-out-of-it attitude, the ability to continue to fight, it’s been tremendous.”‘

‘”It’s mostly a read coming on the ice late where Risto has the rush by himself and I’m trying to find a soft area,” Reinhart said. “For whatever reason, those pucks haven’t been finding me, but it was nice for one to find my stick there.”‘

‘That salvaged what was an otherwise ugly return home. Reinhart missed much of the first period after being hit in the face by a puck, and Jack Eichel missed nearly 20 minutes for an undisclosed period. Goalie Carter Hutton was outstanding in their absence.’

‘“The resiliency in this group, that never-out-of-it-attitude, the ability to continue to fight, it’s tremendous, and it’s been throughout the whole locker room,” Sabres captain Jack Eichel said. “It’s so important in a long season. It’s not always going to be pretty.”’

‘“We always felt like we were in the game and that’s something we’ve really changed this year,” said Reinhart, who spent the latter half of the first period in the dressing room getting stitches in his upper lip.’

Sabres' Reinhart knows what he needs to do to play well ★
‘One of the things I’ve noticed lately is how hard he has been against the boards and he’s starting to spend time in front of the net again. He is also on a line with Evan Rodrigues, a guy he feels he has chemistry with, “It’s the skill he possesses, his speed and the thing I look at is the way he thinks the game. We think the game alike and it helps because we’re on the same page out there.”’
