Campbell, Dineen give Panthers a shot

‘“You look back on the people you’ve been with before, and all those young kids that I had in Portland, certainly I give them a lot of credit for helping me get here,” Dineen said. “It’s a little bit of a two-way street. I’d like to think they’re enjoying seeing me behind the other bench.”’

Leino, Myers get into the act for Sabres

‘”It was a great team effort,” Myers said. “Millsie played really well, but we gave him a lot more help than we did last game. That’s the way we want to play against teams.”‘

Vanek, Miller leads Sabres past Panthers

‘Buffalo has five wins in its first six games and is undefeated in four road games. Miller shut out Florida after making a season-high 40 saves Tuesday night in a 3-1 victory in Montreal.’

Buffalo 3, Florida 0

‘Thomas Vanek scored twice, while Jason Pominville added the other goal and two assists for Buffalo, which won its third straight.’

Sabres shut out Panthers 3-0

‘Offensive zone turnovers are always a plus when you are creating them, and this time Ville Leino is able to pick the pocket of Keaton Ellerby and feed Jason Pominville right at the top of the crease.’

The aftermath: Sabres 3, Panthers 0

‘Nearing the end of his time on the ice, Leino continued to press Florida defeneman Keaton Ellerby. Leino eventually lifted Ellerby’s stick turned out hard to the left and rushed at goaltender Jose Theodore. To Theodore’s surprise, Pominville was sneaking down the backside and as Leino calmly looked off Theodore, Pominville tapped in the puck to give the Sabres a 2-0 lead in the second period.’
