'There aren't enough words to describe how amazing Jack Eichel has been this season. With a four-point night last night (2+2), Eichel moved up to seventh in the NHL with 45 points. He has taken his game to an entirely different level. Eichel has become an all-around player and is now entrenched as the leader of this team. Whether it's scoring goals, making incredible passes, … [Read more...] about What a weekend!

'The victory didn't come easy though, and it looked desperate early.

'In his first game in Buffalo Guhle was paired with Hunwick and did give the puck away a few times, but he also got up ice a few times and used his speed like Housley wants him to. People seem to forget that he's only 21-years-old and is not a bust or even close to one.

'It’s not surprising that Bogosian is banged up with the type of game he’s been playing. He’s been physical and he blocks a lot of shots.

'Being in front of the net is not foreign to Ristolainen, but this was the first time he did it in the NHL, “Yes, I did it before back in Finland and if I would be forward, I would probably be standing there all game long, but yes, I liked it.”' … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Ristolainen showed he can be in front of either net using his strength
