‘While Hackett’s injury was the most serious, it was far from the only one. Four other Sabres left the penultimate game – defenseman Christian Ehrhoff (concussion) and forwards Chris Stewart (ankle), Brian Flynn (lower body) and Matt D’Agostini (lower body). None will be available for today’s season finale against the New York Islanders in First Niagara Center.’

‘“Some guys are labeled for certain things, and they want to get that out of the game,” Buffalo coach Ted Nolan said in TD Garden. “I understand that, but sometimes he’s picked on unfairly.”’

‘Eleven players are injured right now. Four goalies have gone down in the last 16 games.’

‘Sources say Murray has been shopping RW Chris Stewart, D Christian Erhoff, C Luke Adam and RW Drew Stafford. It doesn’t stop there, either. The Sabres will also listen to see what they can get for LW Marcus Foligno, LW Johan Larsson and D Chad Ruhwedel.’

‘Boston dominated the game between the teams at opposite ends of the standings.’

‘Hackett remained sprawled on the ice, face down, as medical personnel came to his aid. After more than five minutes, he was carefully placed on a wheeled stretcher.’

‘Cody Hodgson scored the lone goal for the Sabres, who will host the New York Islanders on Sunday to close the disastrous 2013-14 season. Buffalo, which has lost six in a row, will finish with the worst record in the NHL.’

‘”It doesn’t look good right now,” said Sabres coach Ted Nolan. “We’ll wrap him up as best we can, get him back home, have our doctors look at him.”‘
