Sabres find success on power play, frustration on penalty kill

‘The power play is clicking at 22.6 percent with 28 goals. The penalty kill, however, is dead last, successful only 74.6 percent of the time, giving up a total of 29 goals while shorthanded 114 times.’

Sabres Notebook: Team USA veterans celebrate victory

‘”It’s something really special,” said Jake McCabe who won gold with Team USA in 2013. “I think the world juniors is becoming a bigger thing, especially in the States. I mean obviously in Canada it’s a massive thing but seeing the reaction on social media from people that aren’t necessarily tuned in to the world juniors is big. Dramatic games like that I think are going to help grow our game and that’s all we want, to continue to grow this game. It’s awesome to see the U.S. bring home the gold.”‘

Sabres goalie Anders Nilsson impressive in limited action

‘Five years ago, the 6-foot-6, 229-pound Nilsson was a raw youngster shuttling between the AHL and New York. By 2014, with his progress stalling – “I kind of didn’t develop the way I wanted to,” he said – Nilsson jetted to the KHL, where he played 58 total games for Ak Bars Kazan.’

Jack Eichel knows Sabres lost precious point

‘“I think that’s the problem, you’re satisfied with three points, that’s not good enough,” he said this afternoon inside KeyBank Center. “You have a chance to get four points, you should’ve gotten four. For us to sit here and say, ‘Oh, we played two of the best teams in the league. We got three out of four.’ Well, no, that’s not good enough. We should’ve beat them. That’s all it comes down to.”’

Ennis practicing; Carrier still sick

‘”He has done some skating back here,” Bylsma said following practice. “He skated this morning on his own and then joined us for what’s essentially a morning skate type of practice at 1 o’clock. We should be seeing him in practice now going forward.”‘

O’Reilly’s return adds new dynamic to power play

‘”We have a 1-3-1 power play, we have [Rasmus Ristolainen] in the middle of the ice and Jack [Eichel] and Ryan on the flanks,” the Sabres coach said. “You feel like he’s the quarterback, the distributor of the puck even though he’s not on the top. He adds that for us. Distribution of the puck, it’s much different when he’s not there.”‘
