‘”I felt fine. It’s just frustrating, you know what I mean?” said Hutton, who is 0-7-4 after starting the season 6-0-0. “[They’re] a pretty good hockey team up front.

‘”That’s definitely something we can’t accept,” Sabres coach Ralph Krueger said. “I mean, it was a hell of a hockey game until 14 minutes to go and we turn it into a very painful, unacceptable finish.’

‘The Canucks then scored a pair of goals 1:14 apart to secure the two points. First, Boeser put Vancouver ahead with a shot from the slot 6:24 into the third and Jake Virtanen then scored at the 7:38 mark to make it 5-3.’
