Sabres’ Kane is scoring, but ‘rotten’ penalties have to go

‘“The type of penalties are more the discussion point than the penalties,” Bylsma said in KeyBank Center. “Evander is an aggressive guy, a physical guy, and we want him to be and need him to be. If he’s taking penalties being aggressive and being physical, then that’s one we’ll kill.’

Sabres Notebook: Kulikov, Gorges may return; Deslauriers practices

‘Kulikov is almost a certainty to play against the Capitals, followed in odds by Gorges and Deslauriers.’

Versatile Jake McCabe Sabres’ ‘Swiss Army Knife’

‘“We joked around, called him ‘The Swiss Army Knife,’” center Ryan O’Reilly said Thursday after the Sabres prepared for tonight’s tilt against the Washington Capitals at KeyBank Center. “He does everything well. He’s tough to play against. He’s good offensively. He’s good defensively.”’

Sabres’ Josh Gorges close to returning from foot fracture

‘“Testing it out, seeing how it feels,” Gorges said inside KeyBank Center. “When it’s in your boot, it’s not much different than being in your skate. The boot will act to hold everything together.”’

Three Sabres return to practice on Thursday

‘Head coach Dan Bylsma said Kuilkov could play on Friday night against the Washington Capitals, and Kulikov feels good enough to return to the lineup. Kulikov has been held pointless in 12 games played this season with six shots on goal and a minus-4 rating.’

Sabres slowly, but surely, getting healthy

‘Earlier in the week Sabres head coach Dan Bylsma said that Josh Gorges would miss “weeks” with a foot injury after blocking a shot — but he may be back sooner than originally thought.’

Gorges, Deslauriers return to practice

‘Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said that Kulikov and Gorges are both possibilities to rejoin the lineup when the team hosts Washington at KeyBank Center on Friday night. He said that Deslauriers is “close” to being game-ready, but added that he had not yet seen a post-practice report.’
