Sabres goaltenders are taking care of business

‘The Sabres tandem has the sixth-best save percentage in the NHL at .920. To put that in perspective, the last time the Sabres goaltenders finished with a combined save percentage above .920 was the 2009-10 season when Ryan Miller, Patrick Lalime and Jhonas Enroth combined to post a .924 save percentage.’

Sabres Notebook: An opportunity for precious points

‘”I think as you try to win hockey games and add points to your column, you’re always keeping an eye on the standings, you’re always keeping an eye on the teams ahead of you and you’re hoping they don’t get points when you are getting points,” Bylsma said.’

Sabres surging halfway through season

‘Given up for dead two weeks ago, the Sabres, 3-0-1 in the last four games, hit the official halfway point tonight in Tampa Bay playing perhaps their best hockey all season.’

Predators claim Derek Grant from Sabres

‘“Hopefully, Derek’s got an opportunity … going to Nashville,” he said. “We thought with Cal O’Reilly being a center we could call up, that was part of the plan as well.”’

Sabres lose Grant. Lehner stays home

‘Buffalo would like the depth at center, but they do have Cal O’Reilly on the farm. Dan Bylsma said getting him to the Amerks is what they were trying to do, “That was part of the plan there. Obviously we knew it was a possibility. Hopefully Derek’s got an opportunity for Derek going to Nashville, but we thought with Cal O’Reilly being a center, we could get through with that part of the plan as well.”’

All-Star Okposo has already impressed with work ethic

‘”It’s interesting to see the off-ice habits,” O’Reilly said. “You [play against him] and see him last year, seeing how hard he works and the way he can create, the way he can score, you know you see that stuff. But get to know him better and getting to play with him, you see the way he takes care of himself away from the rink. He’s always working on his game. He’s always in the gym, he’s shooting pucks, he’s doing stick-handling stuff, he’s always working on his game and it’s cool to see how guys get the way they are.”‘
