Archives for February 18, 2017

Sabres’ Rodrigues performing well on center stage

‘“It’s been a nice thing to see Evan being able to step in there and do good things,” Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said Friday. “I don’t want to say I’m surprised, but great intelligence, some good hockey smarts and sense on both sides of the puck, in particular defensively.”’

Sabres Notebook: Streaks collide; Lehner hot; injuries

‘Buffalo will close a stretch of 11 games in 18 days with back-to-back home games. St. Louis will visit KeyBank Center at 1 p.m. Saturday, while the Chicago Blackhawks come to town at 6 p.m. Sunday. They’re a combined 11-0 in the past 11 games.’

Sabres goalie Robin Lehner thriving with heavy workload

‘“We’re going to keep riding that guy as we go forward,” Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said Friday inside HarborCenter. “Every one of these games is a huge game for us. We’re going to see Robin in there quite a bit.”’

Sabres’ Cody Franson ready to play; Derek Grant out

‘Center Derek Grant, who injured his shoulder late in the first period Thursday, “had a decent amount of good news from his evaluation today,” Bylsma said. Still, Grant has some weakness and is likely out this weekend, Bylsma said.

Sabres’ Moulson looking for more ice-time

‘Inside a game Moulson might play with seven or eight of the 11 forwards. He said at times he can roll with it, “It depends, we have a lot of good players on this team so it’s easy to play with the guys out there, but when you get out there, there are different situations and it’s easier to play with different guys, so just mentally I have to be ready to go whenever it’s my turn to go.”’

Dreger: Kane’s return value might be as good as it gets

‘”There are a number of teams who absolutely are looking for an upgrade up front and somebody they can inject into their top-six,” Dreger said with Andrew Peters and Martin Biron on The Instigators on Friday. “There are lots of teams most definitely looking for a top-six player. Evander Kane, when healthy and motivated which he appears to be on both fronts, he can be an impact guy.”‘

Rodrigues excelling at center between Foligno, Gionta

‘”I don’t want to say I’m surprised, but great intelligence, some good hockey smarts and sense on both sides of the puck, in particular defensively,” Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said when asked what he’s seen from Rodrigues during this stretch. “Positionally, when he gets the puck coming out of D-zone and puck retrievals, he’s made real intelligent and smart plays.”‘
