‘Miller made 29 saves, including a great glove grab on Ales Hemsky in the third period as Buffalo was protecting a 3-2 lead. Miller, 30, is the 67th goalie in NHL history to reach 200. He’s 12th on the active list, tied with teammate Patrick Lalime.’

‘The five-foot-nine Ennis has spent his whole hockey career charging into traffic and getting out without taking any major body blows.’

‘“It’s exciting, I’ve been waiting for this day to come for a bit,” Ennis said. “I’m pretty excited to play in Edmonton. I grew up watching the Oilers and now it’s pretty cool that I’m going to get a chance to play here against the Oilers.”’

‘“It’s a bit surreal,” Weber said. “It’s a dream come true to get your first NHL goal. I just kind of threw the puck on net. It’s a little thing, but if you throw the puck on net, you never know what’s going to happen. I’m pretty happy.”’

‘Weber also had an assist for a three-point night after picking up just four assists in his first 39 NHL games through portions of three seasons with the Sabres. “That’s probably the biggest game I have had in hockey, ever,” said the Pittsburgh product. “It was pretty special. I guess every squirrel finds a nut sometimes.”‘

‘Buffalo head coach Lindy Ruff was happy his team was able to get a couple of key goals down the stretch for the win, including Hecht’s wrister 2:45 into the third period that gave the Sabres a 3-1 lead.’

‘With the win, Buffalo improves to 15-18-4 and are now eight points behind Montreal for 8th place in the Eastern Conference.’
