‘”It felt like they put it in an extra gear there in the third period and just created a lot of good chances,” Enroth said. “You could tell that’s a good team over there.”‘

‘”Obviously, being in a call-up situation, you’re on your toes,” Tropp said. “You want to work and prove that you can play at this level. The goal is to stick around as long as possible. Every time you get that nod you try to make an impression, and I think as each game goes on that’s my mind-set going in is I continue to work.”‘

‘The loss was the second in the last three games for the Sabres, who are battling for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.’

‘Jason Pominville scored for the Sabres, who fell 13 points behind Boston in the division and remain on the outside looking in for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Jhonas Enroth gave up three goals on 28 shots.’

‘The Bruins pulled away in the final period on goals by Johnny Boychuk and David Krejci. Boychuk put Boston ahead for the first time with a shot from the top of the near faceoff circle that deflected off Derek Roy and into the Buffalo net. Krejci made it a 3-1 game about 3 minutes later, taking an outlet feed from Milan Lucic, busting in on net, and putting a shot past Enroth.’

‘Not only did Buffalo lose the game, they also appear to have lost winger Thomas Vanek with an upper body injury. With just over 10 minutes to go in the game, Vanek was rocked on a hit at the blueline by Boychuk that sent him crashing to the ice. Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff said Vanek was still being evaluated after the game, and didn’t know the full extent of the injury.’
