The linemates keep changing, but Evander Kane keeps scoring

‘”I thought his last two games, the Carolina game and the Florida game, were very good,” Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said about Kane on Wednesday afternoon as the Sabres had team meetings in KeyBank Center. “Skating. Physical. Really had a lot of jump, leading the way with our speed game. He came up with big goals in both those games.”‘

Sabres notebook: Hurricanes come to Buffalo after strange week in Carolina

‘Poor ice conditions caused the game between the ‘Canes and Red Wings to be postponed with a make-up date yet to be announced.’

Torrid stretch puts Sabres’ Rasmus Ristolainen in elite company

‘Consider: Ristolainen is tied for third among NHL defensemen with 23 points and 20 assists. The Finn’s average ice time of 26 minutes, 41 seconds ranks fifth among all skaters.’

Hurricanes’ Stempniak makes a return to Buffalo

‘“I think Buffalo gets a bad rap because of the weather,” Stempniak said. “When the steel plants closed it didn’t really develop the waterfront but they’re doing a lot more of that now. I have a soft spot for it. There are a lot of people there who work very hard and don’t expect a lot, and I want to pass those values on to my children.”’

A Call-Up’s Story: Years in the Minors, Four Days in the N.H.L.

‘Although Burgdoerfer’s time in the N.H.L. was brief and mostly unremarkable, Sabres Coach Dan Bylsma said he had served as a lesson in determination and resilience for prospects in the organization. And Burgdoerfer’s story — a common one in hockey, current and former teammates said — epitomizes the challenges of making it: how for all but the most celebrated prospects, getting a crack at the N.H.L. involves an odyssey.’
