’Canes break through on Sabres

‘“It wasn’t our best game,” Sabres center Tyler Ennis said. “We didn’t do the right things with the puck. I was guilty of that, for sure. It was tough. We’ve got to bounce back and be better.”’

Single rooms lead to uneasy quiet time

‘“The past two times I’ve had guys make sure that I’m up,” the Buffalo Sabres forward said Thursday. “It’s just the paranoia of making sure you’re up and not being able to rely on your roommate in case you do forget.”’

Hurricanes earn 1st win by beating Sabres 6-3

”’I think we gave up the puck too much,” Pominville said. ”We battled back a couple of times . (but) we gave up too many rush opportunities and were a little too casual with the puck. It just wasn’t our usual game.”’

‘”It’s good we have a short time in between games so we have a chance to make up for today,” Sabres defenseman Christian Ehrhoff said.’

Enroth’s debut was not a good one

‘”I didn’t feel rusty. I felt a little bit lost tonight,” Enroth said. When I asked him to explain what he meant by “lost,” he responded, “I don’t know — just lost. I wasn’t really in the right position on a couple of shots and stuff like that.”‘

‘”I think it was a combination of youth,” Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. “I know that Cody (Hodgson) could make better plays. He did a great job keeping the puck turned up and then we ended up turning the puck over. If you don’t take care of the puck, it can go the other way on you.”‘

Staaled Out: Sabres doubled up 6-3 by Canes

‘Jason Pominville scored twice for the Sabres, who battled back from an early 2-0 deficit during a wild six-goal middle period. Cody Hodgson scored for the third straight game, and Thomas Vanek picked up a pair of assists to give him eight points in a three-game point streak. Jhonas Enroth stopped 32 of 37 Carolina shots to take the loss in his first start of the season.’
