Sabres take aim at .500 points percentage

‘The Sabres enter Tuesday’s game against the New Jersey Devils with a 33-35-11 record for 77 points. If they go 2-0-1 in their final three games, they would finish 35-35-12. That would be 82 points in the 82-game schedule, or a points percentage of .500 that could push them up eight or nine slots in the standings from a year ago.’

Ryan O’Reilly’s status in doubt for game

‘O’Reilly played only 18 minutes, 24 seconds in Saturday’s game, nearly three minutes under his season average of 21:45 that leads all NHL forwards. Still, O’Reilly played 7:02 in the third period, including the final 2:01 as the Sabres were protecting their one-goal lead.’

Sabres prospect Bailey finishing strong with Amerks

‘Bailey has 20 points in his last 16 games for the Amerks. On the season he has 43 points (19 goals, 24 assists) becoming the first Amerks’ rookie to reach the 40-point mark since Johan Larsson had 41 in 2012-13. Larsson, however, played 62 games that season with the Houston Aeros before being traded from Minnesota to Buffalo. He played seven games with Rochester to close out his AHL rookie campaign.’

Sabres’ Jack Eichel, Ryan O’Reilly questionable for Devils

‘In other news, the Sabres assigned defenseman Brendan Guhle, the 51st overall pick in June, from the Western Hockey League’s Prince Albert Raiders to the AHL Rochester Americans on Monday.’

Sabres are missing two from practice

‘That lasted for less than 30 seconds when he was asked if an injury happened in the Rangers game, “Yes for Ryan and not for Jack, Jack is just a maintenance day.”’

Nelson adjusting to life in the NHL

‘”The guys have been unbelievable so far, and I don’t think that’s going to change. They took us in, me and Hudson, and they put us through the ropes and helped us out a lot. [But] I still think we have a lot of learning to do yet.”‘

Is Sabres season a success?

‘The Sabres are 18-13-7 in the second half of the season. That’s 43 points in 38 games. If you project that over an 82 game season, it comes out to 92 points which, if you were wondering, would have the Sabres in 3rd place in the Atlantic Division today and in a playoff spot.’

O’Reilly, Eichel absent from practice as Sabres approach final 3 games

‘Sabres coach Dan Bylsma wouldn’t specify, but said that he expects one of them to play Tuesday. A recall from Rochester may be necessary if the other is unable to go.’
