Sabres’ Eichel leads a come from behind win over Toronto

‘The Sabres were up against arguably the worst goaltender in the NHL in Michael Hutchinson, yet five minutes into the second, they hadn’t scored on him. Toronto has no salary cap room for a decent backup goalie so they’re basically going with an AHL goaltender when Freddie Andersen needs a rest.’

‘”It’s always fun to win on home ice, and we hadn’t beat them in a while, so it’s good to get the two points, and I think we needed it as a group as well,” said Eichel, who extended his point streak to eight games (eight goals, seven assists). “Good contributions up and down the lineup starting with our goaltender, who I thought played tremendous.”‘

‘”I was most excited about his last couple of minutes, how he came to play without the puck, how hard he defended when they pulled the goalie out,” Krueger said. “He did put one in the empty net, but it was the work he did before that I think that shows Jack is maturing right in front of our eyes.”‘

‘Jimmy Vesey was credited with the game winner 8:34 into the third period. Jeff Skinner, Victor Olofsson and Casey Mittelstadt also scored for Buffalo. Eichel picked up two goals and an assist for his ninth multi-point game of the season.’
