Penalty killing problems haunting Sabres to historic levels

‘Heading into Friday night’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights, the Sabres are last in the NHL in overall penalty kill percentage (74.0) and road percentage (67.8). The overall mark, in fact, would be the lowest in franchise history for an entire season if it holds up.’

It’s a return to Vegas for Sabres defenseman Colin Miller

‘”The fans saw a lot more than we did,” Miller said. “We saw him come out and do the intro. It’s Vegas. It’s a show and they try to put on the best of the best. It seems to have taken off here. It obviously helps when the team does well and they’ve been very good this year and the other two years.”‘

Sabres to alter ticket pricing model, increase prices

‘”It’s important to start with the fact the whole building was rescaled and when we got advice from the National Hockey League and looked at markets across the league, best practices, we internally made the decision to use our analytic department to speak to us and give us the data back,” Kevyn Adams, the Sabres’ vice president of business administration, said. “That’s how we got here. I think the biggest part is now we have 30 different options for our fans and season ticket holders. We can find the right seat for everybody and we wanted to make sure we listened to our fans and gave them options. It’s consistent with what the rest of the league is doing and that’s an important part of this.”‘

Sabres recall Lawrence Pilut, send John Gilmour to Amerks

‘Meanwhile, Gilmour, 26, served as the Sabres’ extra defenseman during his recall. He scored zero points in four contests after starting the season in Buffalo. He has compiled six goals and 13 points in 32 appearances with the Amerks.’

Confident Sabres back on the ice for practice Thursday

‘Head coach Ralph Krueger continued to express that sentiment following the team’s skate off the Vegas Strip on Thursday. He continued that, “we feel confident right now, we believe in our game and we’re expecting another good one, but as we all know that only the result in the end counts at this time of year.” The difference in the game was special teams and the pair of power play goals that Colorado scored against Buffalo.’

‘It’s in his DNA’: Kahun made strong impression on Granato in Chicago

‘”They liked playing with him on a line, the power play, whatever,” Granato said. “You could see it. He’s a fun personality but a contributing personally from the standpoint of he’s very serious about his performance.”‘

Sabres recall Pilut from Amerks

‘Pilut, 24, has played in 11 NHL games this season, averaging 16:08 of ice time.’
