Eichel scores three, but Sabres can’t pull win out of the hat

‘Eichel nearly had a signature win Friday. The Sabres center recorded the first hat trick of his NHL career, a milestone that was 175 games in the making. The final two goals came in a 10-second span, erasing a 4-2 deficit and prompting the KeyBank Center crowd to dot the ice with hats and do the Wave.’

Mike Harrington: As slump continues at Game 200, Reinhart pushes forward

‘Reinhart had 23 goals and 19 assists two years ago in his first full NHL season. Last year’s totals were 17 goals and 30 assists. His current pace this season? Just 12 goals, 15 assists for 27 points.’

Sabres Notebook: Botterill talking to other GMs; Moulson producing

‘”Yeah, we’ve been impressed with how we’ve performed the last little bit here. Last night was disappointing. I thought we had an opportunity there to continue the point streak, but now it’s a scenario where, hey, we have to respond from that and have a good performance in front of our fans here. We haven’t done that enough throughout the year.”‘

The Wraparound: Hurricanes 5, Sabres 4 (OT)

‘Eichel recorded his first career hat trick Friday night, and it was the first one by the Sabres in KeyBank Center since 2011. Despite the individual dominance, the Sabres suffered a 5-4 overtime loss to Carolina.’

‘“It’s a tough one,” he said. “We did a pretty good job to get the momentum back to after they scored twice.”’

Sabres’ Zach Bogosian finding regular form after injury

‘“Anytime you miss that much time you’re going to be rusty,” said Bogosian, who was injured late in the Sept. 29 preseason finale. “I think the last few games I’ve tried to make some plays I normally could’ve if (I was in) the start of the season or midseason form. I’m starting to make those passes and see those reads.”‘

Sabres could loan prospect Alexander Nylander to Sweden

‘Nylander, 19, has endured a rough four months. After suffering a lower-body injury in rookie camp, the slick forward missed all of the main camp and didn’t make his season debut until Nov. 17 with the Rochester Americans.’

Jaccob Slavin scores in OT, Hurricanes top Sabres 5-4

‘“It’s not good enough to get a point,” Eichel said. “It seems like it’s been the recurring them here of late.”’

Hurricanes outlast Sabres in overtime

‘”I hand it to our guys to find the energy to come back and tie the game,” Sabres coach Phil Housley said. “I thought it was a great effort on their part because it easily could’ve gone in the other direction. For the most part we played a really, really good game. It’s just those little details and I continue to talk about it, our play without the puck. It’s that urgency that something bad could happen and it did.”‘
