Together again, Eichel and Reinhart excel for Sabres
‘“It’s nice to be back playing with him,” Eichel said in KeyBank Center. “We’re two people who want to be out there together. We know that if we get each other the puck and get open it’s going to come back.’
Mike Harrington: Attack mode should be Sabres’ preferred method
‘”We have to play a patient game, a responsible game to get the opportunities that I think will come,” Bylsma said. “You have to play defense against this group. You have to be aware which side of the puck you’re on and if you do so, you’ll get opportunities going back the other way.’
Sabres Notebook: Ennis returns with feats of skill and creativity
‘”He’s been skating a lot for quite a long time trying to work his way back from this injury,” Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said. “And he actually pulls that lacrosse move off quite often. To have enough presence of mind to try to do it in a game when there’s grown men out there trying to crush ya, it just shows the comfort level he’s at and the ease with which he plays the game. In practice I’ve seen him put in in right in toe top corner a couple times and this one almost went in after a bounce or two. That was just a flash of his skill.”‘
Quick hits: Sabres 4, Stars 1
‘It didn’t take long to see which Sabres team was playing Monday. It was the good one.’
Sabres jump out to early lead, beat Stars
“A win’s nice, but it’s been a roller coaster,” McCabe said. “It’s been up and down and we can’t have that anymore. It’s great to get wins, but we’ve got to start stringing them together.”
Sabres’ Tyler Ennis scores early in return, attempts lacrosse-style goal
‘“To have enough presence of mind to try it in a game when there’s grown men out there trying to crush you, just shows you kind of where the comfort level he’s at,” Bylsma said.’
Ennis scores 19 seconds into return, sparks Sabres win
‘“Yeah that’s how I planned it,” Ennis said of his quick start.’
