Hurricanes keep Sabres reeling in wrong direction

‘Lydman was on the ice for all five Carolina goals while Tallinder was spared one of those goals as he was in the penalty box for the delay of game penalty that led to Carolina’s fourth goal.’

Carolina 6, Buffalo 2

‘It was Buffalo’s third straight loss, and they have been held to just four goals over their last three games after scoring 18 during a three-game win streak.’

Carolina 6, Buffalo 2

‘Buffalo has lost all three of its road games so far this season, scoring only six goals. Jason Pominville scored twice for the Sabres, who suffered two injuries in the defeat. Defenseman Dmitri Kalinin left the game with a leg injury in the second period and did not return. Center Paul Gaustad was helped off the ice in the second period after Carolina’s Mike Commodore clipped him in the face with the followthrough of his shot. He didn’t return, either.’

Campbell knows that eit&#8217 is in him

‘“The leaders on your team need to be your best players in a lot of cases,” Campbell said. “For myself, I want more. I want to get more done. I want to help out. I want to play more physical. And I think I can. I’m going to [start with] myself first and try to get everybody going as well.”’

Looks like rough skating ahead for the Sabres

‘This season has already been full of highs and lows, and it might go on like this for some time. Still, when the Sabres have played best, they have shown that the heart of last year’s dominating team is still there. Hopefully, in the coming weeks, we will see that spark make a full-time return. For now, fans can take solace knowing that this is a very solid hockey team and definitely a contender in the Eastern Conference.’
