Minute-hogging Ristolainen finds time to score winner

‘Along with the clang of iron and the roar of the fans, Ristolainen’s excited shout and sigh of relief were audible. He had skated for 694 minutes, 7 seconds without scoring. That’s more than 11 days of ice time. Only three players in the NHL (Dustin Byfuglien, Erik Karlsson and Duncan Keith) have skated more.’

Girgensons ends his 21-game goal drought

‘“I mean it’s always nice to score a goal,” Girgensons said Tuesday morning in KeyBank Center before the Sabres hosted the Edmonton Oilers. “It was a little bit of a long stretch there but I’ve seen that before. I just had to stick with it.’

Sabres Notebook: Nilsson gets two sweet points against his former team

‘”I mean I would be lying if I said it wasn’t a little special playing against the team I played with last year,” said Nilsson, who went 10-12-2 with a .901 save percentage and a 3.14 goals against average with the Oilers. “I know a lot of the guys on the team so of course it’s special but it comes down to two points and they’re not more important if you get them against an old team or some other team.’

Quick Hits: Sabres 4, Oilers 3 (OT)

‘The Sabres improved to 5-2-2 in the last nine games with a comeback victory in KeyBank Center.’

Rasmus Ristolainen clinches Sabres’ overtime win against Oilers

‘“We’ve been urging him to take the one timer,” coach Dan Bylsma said after Ristolainen’s power play goal 57 seconds into overtime sealed the Sabres’ 43 come from behind win against the Edmonton Oilers.

Sabres’ Erik Burgdoerfer waited for NHL opportunity

‘“When you play in the ECHL for four straight years, you’re turning 25, you definitely have some times when you’re doubting yourself,” Burgdoerfer said Tuesday prior to his second NHL game, a 4-3 overtime win against the Edmonton Oilers inside KeyBank Center.’

Eichel notches assist as Sabres beat McDavid’s Oilers in OT, 4-3

‘Evander Kane had two goals while Brian Gionta and Rasmus Ristolainen also scored for Buffalo (10-10-6 overall).’

Sabres steal OT win in latest McDavid-Eichel matchup

‘”You’ve got to win hockey games a lot of different ways,” Sabres head coach Dan Bylsma said. “Tonight, we claw back and get one on a 6-on-5 (chance) at the end of the game to tie it. … We came up big there (in overtime) to get the win.”‘

Sherwood Park’s Brendan Guhle has been thrown into NHL deep-end by Sabres

‘He was getting ready for a Prince George home game against Victoria Royals last Friday when he got the NHL call. “Beneficial, I thin,k to just get right into it (NHL games). I didn’t have time to think about it, or put pressure on myself,” said Guhle. “I didn’t even know they could do this (call up a player from junior). Pretty surprised.”’
