End of goal drought is tiny silver lining in latest Sabres clunker

‘At 6-17-4, the Sabres are playing at a 49-point pace. They totaled 52 and 54 points, respectively, in 2013-14 and 2014-15, the two years ownership green-lighted management to build them to lose to secure high draft picks.’

Sabres Notebook: Fasching gets the call with mandate to get to the net

‘”It’s pretty much one of the first things I heard,” Fasching, 22, said before the game. “I’ll definitely be around the net tonight. That’s definitely a theme for me and I’m not afraid to get there.”‘

The Wraparound: Penguins 5, Sabres 1

‘Pominville took a backhand feed by Jack Eichel and slammed home a one-timer from the right circle at 11:18 of the third period to pull the Sabres within 3-1. It ended their franchise-record scoreless streak at 232 minutes, 9 seconds, which dated to Kyle Okposo’s empty-net goal with 51 seconds left Nov. 24 against Edmonton.’

Sabres finally score goal, still lose to Penguins

‘The hapless Sabres were still a long way from tying the 1928-29 Chicago Blackhawks’ NHL record of getting shut out in eight consecutive games.’

Sabres’ Hudson Fasching wants to showcase heavy style

‘“I’ve been heavier on pucks, I’ve had that extra edge, I get in there and just win battles and win pucks,” Fasching said. “I think that’s kind of the thing that was lacking for me in training camp.”’

Crosby, Malkin help Penguins sink slumping Sabres, 5-1

‘“We were different tonight,” Pominville said. “We definitely weren’t as flat as we had been in the previous couple games, but we we’re playing the Stanley Cup champions. You give them a few power plays, you make their top guys feel good about their game and they capitalize.”’

Balanced effort helps Pens continue mastery of Sabres

‘”They played with a lot of emotion,” he said. “The bottom line is winning, but I felt that we did have a better effort — but here we sit and we lost 5-1.”‘

Sabres recall F Fasching

‘The 6-foot-3, 204-pound Fasching, a native of Milwaukee playing in his second AHL season, has nine points and is tied for the Rochester team lead with six goals.’

Sabres open for business, is Evander Kane on the block?

‘“The sense is that Buffalo feels that Kane is a better player than both those players, so they’re going to be aiming higher,” said Friedman. “I don’t think they’re going to be getting a franchise defenceman for him, but I think that’s the idea of what they want to be, and Kane is having a great year.”’
