‘The Sabres handed out free goals as if they were stocking stuffers against Columbus, allowing the Blue Jackets to storm to an easy 5-1 victory in Nationwide Arena. The Jackets barely had a chance to reload their Civil War goal cannon at times, with the Sabres unable to do much of anything against a Columbus team that may have finally found its game.’

‘”You dream about this since you were a little kid. To finally have it come true, I’m very excited,” Kassian said. “When I got sent down I just wanted to work my butt off down there and try to play as best as I can and hopefully get the call. The call came. Now it’s time for me to show what I’ve got.”‘

‘Enroth has been a surprising success with the Sabres this season—and will have to play a larger role now with star Ryan Miller sidelined with a concussion — coming into play with an 7-2-1 record. But he was yanked after allowing four goals on 18 shots in just 24:29 of action Friday.’

‘Kassian, the Sabres’ first-round pick in 2009 (13th overall), leads Rochester with 14 points in 18 games. He was recalled after Brad Boyes went down with a right leg injury in Wednesday’s shootout loss to Boston.’

‘Jordan Leopold scored the lone goal for the Sabres, who have dropped their past three games.’

‘The only major development of the third was Regehr leaving the game with an upperbody injury.’

‘Columbus scored two goals in the first, then lit the lamp twice in a 12 second span in the second period to build an insurmountable 4-0 lead.’
