Consistency again the enemy for the Sabres

‘”I thought we had our chances,” Sabres forward Jack Eichel said. “I don’t think our execution was where it should be. We let them off the hook a few times where we had cycles and long shifts in their end. You know, it’s a tough one. We thought we could have come in here and get two points and we didn’t get anything. There’s some good and there’s some stuff we want to clean up.”‘

Sabres Notebook: Zach Bogosian’s poise, personality making a difference

‘”I think first of all being away that many games and then stepping in, the first two games I thought he was our best defenseman,” said coach Phil Housley Thursday morning as the Sabres prepared to play the Philadelphia Flyers in Wells Fargo Center. “Then you have a little dip because of the buildup to those games, but he’s been pretty consistent. His puck movement’s really good. He’s really strong down low. I’d like to see him shoot the puck a lot more. I think he’s got a really good release and it’s a heavy shot. But I think he just brings us some depth back there which we really needed.”‘

The Wraparound: Flyers 2, Sabres 1

‘While the Sabres played a strong first period, the Flyers came with more punch in the second, hemming the Sabres in their own zone several times and wearing down the defense to break a 1-1 tie late in the period.’

Filppula’s goal leads Flyers to 5th straight win

‘The Sabres entered with the fewest goals in the league (67) and the first-period tally was just their 15th of the season in the opening 20 minutes.’

Flyers edge Sabres for fifth straight victory

‘”I kind of slipped on their first goal and lost my balance,” Lehner said. “Now we’ve got to go back home and win tomorrow.”‘

Flyers stop Sabres point streak, defeat Sabres 2-1

‘Brian Elliott misplayed the puck behind his own net, Zemgus Girgensons was able to stop the puck and it results in a the first goal of the night. Girgensons was able to get the puck to Ryan O’Reilly for an empty net chance. O’Reilly’s eighth goal of the season was assisted by Girgensons and made it 1-0, Buffalo. Two and a half minutes later the Flyers would answer back to attone for the early miscue.’

From the Locker Room: Sabres-Flyers

‘”It was a tight game. I think the first period was a little off for both teams. I think we felt each other out a little bit. [The Flyers] took advantage of us in the second; had a good second period, then did a pretty good job shutting us down in the third.”‘

5 Observations: Flyers top Sabres 2-1

‘O’Reilly will be the first to tell you that he needs to play better. For the sake of the Sabres, hopefully, his first goal since November 17th will be a step in the right direction.’
