Opinion: Sabres were able to come from behind to earn a point.
'Norris Trophy winner Quinn Hughes took the game over in overtime. He used his speed and agility to keep the puck away from the Sabres almost the whole time. There’s a reason why if they did the 2018 NHL Draft over right now, Hughes would easily be the number one overall pick with Brady Tkachuk No. 2 and Rasmus Dahlin third.' … [Read more...] about Opinion: Sabres were able to come from behind to earn a point.

Mike Harrington: Sabres' mandate for Black Friday matinee is to repeat their recipe for success
'Hard to gripe about Wednesday's defeat. The Sabres had 39 shots on goal and 87 attempts. They didn't score because Filip Gustavsson was outstanding in the Wild net, and just a few too many of Buffalo's good chances were right in his breadbasket and not artfully aimed at a corner of the cage.' … [Read more...] about Mike Harrington: Sabres’ mandate for Black Friday matinee is to repeat their recipe for success
