'“I always just kept the faith,” he told The Buffalo News on Tuesday ahead of the Sabres' game against the Seattle Kraken in Climate Pledge Arena. “I talked to Donny a few times during that span, and kind of just had to let things play out, wait to see what happened.

'“He’s a great human, he’s an unbelievable teammate,” Appert said. “His work ethic’s incredible, his attitude’s incredible.

Revisiting the Jack Eichel trade

'Now let’s look at Tuch. He has always been a reliable middle-six scorers, but the Syracuse, N.Y. native has upped his game since the trade.

Hamilton Take 2: Sabres succeeding by design

Kraken defeat Sabres, end Dahlin's goal streak at five

'"We didn't play very well, I just thought that they had a lot better jump than we did," Sabres captain Kyle Okposo said. "And we just couldn't find it. When we did, we made a push and take a penalty in the offensive zone; can't do that. They score on the power play, kind of killed our momentum, but yeah, we just did not have any jump tonight and a tough one to finish the trip … [Read more...] about Kraken defeat Sabres, end Dahlin’s goal streak at five

Postgame Report | Sabres end road trip with loss to Seattle

'The Sabres appeared to gain momentum when Jack Quinn scored from a tough angle during a 6-on-4 advantage, which would have cut the deficit to 4-2 with the Sabres set to begin a fresh power play. Video replay ruled the goal was scored after an offside entry, instead leaving the Sabres with 33 seconds at 5-on-3.
