Kucherov has hat trick for Lightning in win against Sabres
‘”Obviously, we needed a better effort,” Granato said. “It was individual, but it was collective. And you could tell they were ready for us. They were ultra-sharp tonight and they executed. Obviously, they got a full lineup back with Kucherov coming back and they’re healthy right now and they’re feeling it. You could see that tonight. We didn’t execute, obviously, the way we wanted. No excuses. We weren’t sharp and we paid the price.”‘
Quinn makes impressive debut during loss to Lightning
‘Quinn, the Sabres’ first-round pick (eighth overall) in the 2020 NHL Draft, skated on a line with Hinostroza and Dylan Cozens and posted team highs in shots (3) and shot attempts (6). He twice was robbed of his first NHL goal, first when Victor Hedman blocked his shot at an open net during the first period and later when Cal Foote used his foot to stop a shot in the crease during the third.’
