Win over Coyotes has Sabres gunning for more

‘Plenty of folks are worried the jolt of pride could cost Buffalo a guaranteed shot at McDavid or Eichel. The Sabres climbed to within four points of 29th-place Arizona, with one fewer game played. They’ll make it up Wednesday night when the Toronto Maple Leafs visit First Niagara Center.’

Weber nominated for Masterton Trophy

‘Weber earned the nomination in part by being a veteran leader on a young team in need of them.
