Sabres bask in the Florida sunshine

‘Once 3-7, the Sabres are now 8-8 and are on their first three-game winning streak since last December. They had not been at .500 since the final game of the 2013 lockout season.’

Energy sucked out by empty seats

‘It was more of the same Thursday as only about 5,000 people were in the stands for the Panthers’ game against the Buffalo Sabres. The announced attendance was 11,271.’

Quick hits: Sabres 3, Panthers 2

‘Luongo had won seven straight over Buffalo — with four shutouts — since a 5-3 loss in then-HSBC Arena on Feb. 11, 2006. That came in his first tour of duty in Florida before he spent 7 1/2 seasons in Vancouver.’

Franson, Reinhart lead Sabres to 3-2 win over Panthers

‘Buffalo, last in the NHL the past two seasons, upped its record to 8-8-0 with its fifth victory in six games. Led by newcomer Ryan O’Reilly and rookie star Jack Eichel, the Sabres have won three straight road games for the first time since March 2012.’

Sabres finally beat Luongo

‘”It’s going to happen — you can’t have a team’s number forever,” said Luongo, who made 16 saves. “(The Sabres) are playing well. They’ve beaten some good teams.”‘

Sabres survive 3-2 against Florida

‘The Sabres had a Tyler Ennis goal call overturned after Panthers head coach Gerard Gallant challenged that Ennis was off side on the play. After a lenghty review, the referees on the ice concluded that Ennis crossed the blue line before the puck.’

‘”We thought we were better than that,” Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said. “We thought we had played better games than that. We’ve kind of focused on going 6-4 in the next 10 games, and 6-4 in the next 10 games to fight our way back to .500. We’ve been able to do that a little bit sooner stretch than 6-4 and 6-4. I really believe in developing the belief in how we need to play, and if we play that way we’re going to give ourselves a chance to win hockey games. I think we’re doing that.”‘

Sabres hang on to defeat Panthers for 3rd-straight win

‘“The great feeling right now is that we won – we’re happy we won – but we’re not satisfied,” forward Tyler Ennis said. “In the last couple years, we’d just take any win, but we can improve a lot. That wasn’t a great game by us.”’
