Sabres’ O’Reilly hopes to show the city a winning team

‘“When you can score goals and get life in this building, that’s tough to play against,” O’Reilly said. “That’s what we want. We want to create, get goals and keep feeding off them like we did there. It’s definitely a positive thing.”’

Kyle Okposo ready for his L.A. closeup as an NHL All-Star

‘“It’s awesome,” said linemate Ryan O’Reilly who was the Sabres representative at last year’s All-Star Game. “Look what he’s done all year. He’s been our most consistent player, night-in, night-out. The way he’s been creating and making things happen, it’s nice to see him get rewarded. It’s definitely well deserved.”’

Sabres waive goal-less Grant

‘Grant shined in the preseason to earn a spot on the Sabres, but he hasn’t done enough to keep it. He has no goals and three assists in 35 games while taking just 31 shots. He has never scored in 75 NHL games.’

Mike Harrington: At century mark, Eichel finding his game

‘”It’s all about your preparation being consistent,” he said. “If you want to become a top player in the league, you have to be ready every night. I think I’ve done a pretty good job at that with the consistency this year. Maybe it’s not been rewarded statistically but I always believe you’ll get more bounces sooner rather than later.’

Quick hits: Sabres 4, Flyers 1

‘Nilsson improved to 5-1-2 in his last eight decisions and 7-3-4 overall. Buffalo moved to 3-0-1 in its last four.’

Sabres recall Ullmark from Amerks for game against Flyers

‘With Robin Lehner battling the flu, Sabres coach Dan Bylsma summoned Ullmark late in the afternoon to back up starter Anders Nilsson. It is Ullmark’s third recall of the season but he has yet to see any action. He did appear in 20 games for Buffalo last season, earning wins in his last three games to finish 8-10-2 with a 2.60 goals against average and .913 save percentage.’

Sabres cruise to win over Flyers

‘“I liked the way our guys played the game,” Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said. “I liked the way we came out. I liked the way we played in the second. I liked the way we played in the third.”’

Sabres’ Kyle Okposo thrilled with NHL All-Star selection

‘“It feels like it’s a bit of a reward for my play,” Okposo said. “This year is probably not the best statistical year that I’ve had. … Coming here and everything being new, the guys make it easy. But at times, it’s difficult. I’m just trying to get used to everything. Still trying to get cemented in the lineup somewhere. So it definitely feels good.”’

Sabres’ Kyle Okposo named NHL All-Star

‘Okposo will represent the Atlantic Division team in the game, as he leads the Sabres with 12 goals and 27 points. Okposo signed a seven-year contract, $42 million contract with Buffalo this past offseason.’
