‘"They have probably the most talented team in the league, and we dug ourselves in a pretty big hole," Sabres right wing Jason Pominville said. "We’ve got to be better right off the bat, especially against a good team like that. You can’t dig yourself in a hole like that and expect to win a game."’

Morrisonn has plenty to talk about
‘"It was six years with that organization, and playing against those guys the other night was weird, you know?" Morrisonn said Tuesday. "But it’ll be nice to go back. I’ve got a lot of friends and people I know back in Washington that are great to me. It’s a great city and a great setting to play in."’

Bradley has goal, assist in Capitals’ 4-2 victory
‘“After the third goal we really turned the corner,” Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said. “We made a lot of good plays, won the battles to create some of those chances. I didn’t like our start. Obviously, that hurt us.”’
Washington 4, Buffalo 2
‘Buffalo pulled Miller in the last minute to gain an extra attacker, but couldn’t tie the game, and Semin scored an empty-net goal with 3.2 ticks left.’
Comeback Falls Short; Capitals Top Sabres 4-2
‘Only moments after Leopold cut the lead to 3-2, Buffalo had another opportunity when Alex Ovechkin was sent to the box for a delay of game call, but the team failed to come through on the power play chance.’
Goalie Conundrum
‘Clearly, the Sabres don’t want to be in the position of maintaining three goaltenders on the big club’s roster. And although news is off most Sabres fans’ radar screens, the team did sign their other minor league netminder, Buffalo native David Leggio, to a two-way contract this past week. Leggio has actually outshined Enroth down in Portland so far this season, posting a 7-1 record and a .917 save percentage in his first eight games with the minor league team. One has to think that Leggio’s new presence on the Sabres’ depth chart does not bode well for Lalime’s future here.’
