Observations: Peyton Krebs, rest of 2-goal club help Sabres snap home skid

‘This time, though, the Sabres (13-21-7) avoided the sort of third-period collapse that has plagued them this season. Tage Thompson had two power-play goals only 24 seconds apart in the first period and had an assist for his first career three-point game. Jeff Skinner scored his team-leading 15th and 16th goals of the season, the latter of which sealed the win in the third.’

Sabres’ Peyton Krebs scores first NHL goals in win: ‘A pretty special talent’

‘“At his age, it’s incredible,” Granato said of Krebs’ backcheck. “I mean, he works probably harder when there’s a switch that goes off in him when the puck is coming toward our net. I saw it watching film of him before we had him and you watch it now. He knows his responsibility and the team player in him kicks in high gear when a puck starts going toward our net.’

Sabres notes: Rasmus Ristolainen has warm memories of Buffalo

‘“It was time for me to see something new, and, obviously, first there was a little bit sadness, but then, obviously, I think it was good for me to go somewhere else,” Ristolainen said. “I liked being in Buffalo. I liked living here, I liked the fans, they were great.”‘

‘“I challenged our guys from a leadership perspective,” Sabres coach Don Granato said. “The teams that are successful, you have leadership right throughout the entire team.”’

Krebs helps lead Sabres to win over Philadelphia

‘The Sabres wasted no time taking a 1-0 lead over Philadelphia. Jeff Skinner scored his 15th goal of the season to cap off a shift where Dylan Cozens and Alex Tuch combined to keep the puck in the offensive zone. The line all received a point on the game’s first score.’
