Curtis Lazar trying to get career ‘back on track’ with Sabres

‘Through three preseason games, Lazar has shown a willingness to play a physical game and flashed skill in a checking-line role. The latter could separate him from other potential fourth-line players such as Zemgus Girgensons, Vladimir Sobotka, Johan Larsson and Remi Elie.’

Jack Eichel is fan of Josh Allen but Boston-area native not sharing Bills-Pats pick

‘“He’s got a lot of pressure on him with where the Bills have been,” Eichel, who is entering his fifth professional season, said of Allen, who is into his second. “I thought he did a good job stepping in last year. It was a bit of a learning experience for him, but I thought he got better as the year went on. I love watching him play. You can tell he wants to win so bad, and he’s a really good guy.”’

Coaching carousel: Sabres Krueger fine with being unknown

‘“I’m not a smiley, friendly guy,” he said. “Positive isn’t always friendly. Positive is constructive. Positive is working toward solutions. So if a player gets sent down, there’s an opportunity for him, too. And we’ll be clear on why and what has to be worked on.”’

Sabres’ Nelson staying in the mix on defense

‘Nelson knows that on defense it’s going to boil down to a numbers game. He said, “You can’t worry about the game or you’re two ahead or you’re halfway through the season or next year or anything like that. You’ve just got to take it day-by-day and even during the game, shift-by-shift, so it’s all about the little things and adding them up to more of a big piece.”’
