Mike Harrington: Mattias Samuelsson’s solo lap a start of big day for Sabres prospect

‘”It’s pretty cool,” Mattias Samuelsson said before the game. “My mom is from Pittsburgh. Her whole side of my family still lives there. My dad was on Cup teams. So there’s definitely some history with the Penguins.”‘

The Wraparound: Sabres put it all together in strong win over Penguins

‘The Sabres improved their puck management from Saturday’s game and played the entire contest from in front, a rarity this season.’

Goalie Dustin Tokarski looks sharp with little rest, helps Sabres beat Penguins

‘“That’s competitiveness and that’s drive and determination,” Granato said of Tokarski on a Zoom call. “So all those intangibles are what push him through and pushes anybody through. … He looked even better tonight because of those intangibles.”’

Sabres prospect Mattias Samuelsson looks impressive in NHL debut

‘“Now was a real good time to bring in anybody young and new because those guys played so consistent and stable over the last little bit,” Granato said on a Zoom call. “And that was the case today. … Danny Girardi’s done an excellent job with them as well. It was a smooth entry for Mattias.”’

Reinhart scores twice in Sabres’ 4-2 win over Penguins

‘“I thought we played a little wiser game. We didn’t tire ourselves,” Granato said. “A little messy with the puck yesterday and then we had to expend a lot of extra energy as a result. Our guys cleaned that up today.”’

Sabres win, split weekend series with Pittsburgh

‘The Sabres wasted virtually no time getting on the board, as just 26-seconds in, they scored their first goal against Penguins goalie Casey DeSmith since November 19, 2018.’

Opinion: Tokarski backstops the Sabres first win over Pittsburgh this season

‘Ever since Don Granato took over, his team has beaten goalies that had had total mastery over them. Not only did they beat them, they chased the Flyers Brian Elliott and the Capitals Vitek Varecek.’

Opinion: Three observations: Reinhart shines; Sabres youth movement stays hot

‘Reinhart’s goals brought him to 17 on the season to go along with 30 points. He’s been one of the main core pieces who continues to produce in a lost season. A restricted free agent this summer, Reinhart has given the Sabres a lot to think about in the off-season.’

Reinhart scores twice as Sabres top Penguins 4-2

‘It didn’t take long for the Sabres to get on the board. Less than a minute into the game Dylan Cozens, using his speed, was able to set up a perfect pass to Arttu Ruotsalainen who capitalized for his 2nd goal of the season. Up 1-0 after one period, Sam Reinhart extended their lead just minutes into the 2nd period with his 16th goal of the season. He extended it again in the 3rd with his 2nd goal of the game, this one on the power play. Rasmus Asplund capped off the scoring with an empty-netter with 1:48 left in regulation.’
