Eichel’s State of the Sabres casts pall over holiday break

‘”I think it shows a lack of maturity as a group for us right now with the position that we’re in,” Eichel told The Buffalo News. “We played last night. We’re traveling, we’re in a back to back. They’re here and ready and waiting for us. They’re at home right before break. You know they’re going to come out and play hard. And from the first shift, we’re chasing the game.”

Sabres Notebook: O’Reilly returns to Buffalo for birth of son

‘The Sabres did not specify the reason for O’Reilly’s absence until after the game, when coach Phil Housley announced that O’Reilly’s fiancee, Dayna Douros, had given birth to a boy.’

The Wraparound: Hurricanes 4, Sabres 2

‘The Sabres will sit on a 9-20-7 record for Christmas, as well as their last-place standing in the Eastern Conference. They are 0-5-1 against Carolina the last two years.’

Inside the Sabres: Patrick Kaleta’s motor is still revving

‘A typical day for Kaleta includes coaching teenagers, helping a charity, introducing kids to hockey, meeting with consultants for the sports complex he’s building, planning unforgettable surprises and skating with his 11-month-old son.’

Faulk scores twice as Hurricanes beat Sabres 4-2

‘“When you start without possession, especially on the road, it makes it difficult,” Buffalo coach Phil Housley said.’

Faulk scores twice as Hurricanes sink Sabres

‘”We understand this team likes to come out and establish territory right off and the bat and we weren’t ready to play,” said Buffalo coach Phil Housley. “Carolina has been playing some good hockey. It’s tough to start on the road 1-0 on the first shift of the game.”‘

Hurricanes double up Sabres 4-2

‘Sebastian Aho’s eighth goal of the season came just thirty-three seconds into the game to give the home team an early one-goal lead. Brett Pesce and Tuevo Teravainen were credited with assists on the goal that made it 1-0 Carolina. The Hurricanes recorded six shots on goal in the period, with Buffalo not allowing any more big scoring chances after the game’s first goal. Chad Johnson stopped five of the six Carolina shots in the period.’

From the Locker Room: Sabres-Hurricanes

‘On the first shift of the game: “It was pretty disappointing, it wasn’t good enough. [We] talked before the game, you know, how they were going to come out strong and coming off the back-to-back so, everyone had to be ready off the start. Pretty poor performance by a lot of us, and [it] sucks, we really wanted to play good in front of Johnny [Chad Johnson], he’s been solid for us, and really wanted to get him a win for him tonight but it was pretty disappointing, the way to end the first half before Christmas.”‘

Sabres come up short against Hurricanes

‘The Hurricanes took the advantage right from puck drop when Sebastian Aho scored 33 seconds into the game.’
