Sabres tame the turmoil with third-period rally

‘Goals by Matt Moulson and Justin Bailey put the Sabres in front and Lehner made it stand up over the final 12 minutes for a thrilling 3-2 victory over the Senators. Buffalo continued to frustrate Ottawa, completing a 4-0-1 season series advantage.’

Sabres’ Gionta says he wants to stay

‘”It’s not really been a formal conversation but the team understands our intentions,” Gionta said in Canadian Tire Centre, confirming a report first issued Tuesday by Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. “Absolutely, I want to stay. I’ve been here three years. I’d love to see this through and keep pushing in the right direction.”‘

Sabres Notebook: Flu keeps Kane out of lineup

‘Kane has 18 goals and 28 points in 45 games this season — but has scored all of his goals in the 33 games since Dec. 3. He’s fourth overall in goals in the NHL in that span and is the leader in even-strength goals with 17.’

Quick Hits: Sabres 3, Senators 2

‘Matt Moulson’s goal 51 seconds into the final period got Buffalo even and Justin Bailey’s tip-in of a Jake McCabe shot at 7:38 of the third put the Sabres ahead. It was Bailey’s second goal of the season and second in the NHL. Robin Lehner made 39 saves to improve to 4-0-2 against his old team.’

Deslauriers frustrating season

‘”Even before that, I did not play much when I was in uniform. This is the style of play I bring that may not be fitter with our way of playing lately. When you win, you put that aside, but when you start to lose, it’s on tough. You look at the other guys who are in the same style and you want to play as much as they do, but it varies from coach to coach , if he thinks you need more skill players than energy, Said the impressive 6 ‘1’ ‘215-pound guy who had 6 goals and 12 points in 70 games last year, including his last goal, which brought a win to his team against Ottawa on March 18.’

Nikita Zadorov, Mikhail Grigorenko talk about return as Avalanche heads to Sabres

‘Zadorov played seven games for the Sabres in 2013-14 and 60 the next season. In his second season with the Colorado organization, he is starting to look like the most valuable part of the deal on the Colorado side as a defenseman making major progress, despite inconsistency and occasional major mental mistakes. And he’s only 21.’

Robin Lehner shuts door on Senators, helps Sabres to 3-2 win with 39 saves

‘”It was a great response,” said Lehner, who was traded with David Legwand to Buffalo by the Senators in June 2015 for the 21st overall pick in that year’s draft. “We didn’t panic in the second. It was a good feeling here. It was a 2-1 game on the road and that’s not a bad situation. We came back, we score a goal and they were a little bit on their heels.”‘

Lehner leads Sabres over Sens

‘”The reason why we’re frustrated is because we know we’re good. We know we have capability on this team. We know the personnel in this room. Just the fact we can pull that off in the third, that’s great, but we don’t want to put ourselves in that position. If we can learn to play second periods a little better, it’s going to be a lot easier down the road.”‘

Sabres Beat Sens 3-2

‘Eichel has 15 points in his last 15 games (5 G, 10 A).’
