'"We didn't have a great start... It's a good response by everyone and getting those two late goals was a big point going into OT, and the PK did a great job at the end of regulation and again in OT getting two big kills."' … [Read more...] about From the locker room: Sabres-Canucks

'Rodrigues has 12 goals in 93 NHL games and none this year. He’s still confident that can change, “I think as soon as I get the first one, the flood gates will open. I got robbed the second game of the year and since then, it seems I can’t catch a bounce, but you can’t get frustrated and I have to shoot the puck more and have the mentality to go to the net.”' … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Rodrigues is hoping to build on his last game

'"(Skinner) is the classic example for me of, sometimes players needing a fresh start. Now, it's not like he was toiling in Carolina or falling into an abyss there, but every time his name would come up in a trade rumor, there was always that lingering history: 'What about his history with concussions? Is his health going to be sustainable...' all of those things."' … [Read more...] about Dreger – Skinner is going to earn a big paycheck

'A back-and-forth, action-packed game in Montreal saw the Sabres prevail over the Canadiens in overtime on Thursday 6-5. Rasmus Ristolainen netted the winner 1:38 into the extra frame, a slapshot that beat Carey Price cleanly. Prior to Ristolainen's winner, Jeff Skinner netted a pair of goals in regulation, including the game-tying goal in the 3rd period. Vladimir Sobotka also … [Read more...] about Sabres get a wild 6-5 overtime win in Montreal

'Beaulieu has played better this season, so he wasn’t out because of his play. It’s been a numbers thing so I wondered if that made it easier, “I thought of that in my head a couple of times and I came to the conclusion that it’s never easy, so the biggest thing for me was to stay ready in practice.”' … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Beaulieu trying to show that he can be better than last season

'"Bit sloppy on our end but it was a good job by the guys to stick with it, especially on the road in a building like this."' … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Canadiens

'Since Pominville-Eichel-Skinner became a line, they have more points than any line in the NHL. Jeff Skinner is on pace for 49 goals, Pominville is on pace for 44 goals, and Jack Eichel would see his point total reach the nineties if this keeps up. It'll be a tough pace to reach, but getting 80% of the shots on goal when on the ice says solid production will continue.' … [Read more...] about Pominville-Eichel-Skinner is one of the best lines in hockey

'"It's frustrating for sure when the puck is not going in the net," Reinhart said. "There's certain games I'm really trying to build off. Hopefully now that I'm back with [Rodrigues], we played a lot together and we've have had some success together in the past. I'm excited about that opportunity, and I know he is as well. And obviously [Sobotka], playing a little bit with him … [Read more...] about Reinhart trying to jump start his game

'Conor Sheary was able to get the Sabres on the scoresheet part way through the third period after Lundqvist made a mistake in his own zone. The Buffalo forward had two chances to score, and it was a backhand swipe at the puck that helped push it through the blue paint and into the net. Sheary's fifth goal of the year was unassisted.' … [Read more...] about Sabres fall to Rangers 3-1

'I can’t fault the Sabres effort in the least. The difference in this game was the man that for many years was the best goaltender in the world. Henrik Lundqvist made 39 saves and stole two points for his team. That just happens in an 82 game schedule and it happened to the Sabres on Sunday night.' … [Read more...] about The Sabres got stoned by Henrik Lundqvist

'"I really liked the way we played from start to finish, obviously we'd want to take back two or three shifts to start the second period, but other than that I thought we controlled the play."' … [Read more...] about Lundqvist stands tall, Sabres stumble in Sunday night letdown at MSG

'Buffalo scored back-to-back goals within seconds of one another in the middle stanza to balloon the lead to 5-0 over Ottawa. Skinner recorded his second goal of the game on the power play. Sam Reinhart used a nice pass below the goal line to create the goal, he and Casey Mittlestadt received the assists on the score. Zemgus Girgensons scored 13 seconds later, with Patrik … [Read more...] about Sabres roll to 9-2 win over Ottawa

'The rookie has had trouble offensively to start this season. He said, “It’s tough, we’re getting chances, I think last game we had quite a few I mean it’s been like that all year. I think, we’re getting chances and then we miss one and they go down and score, but I think we definitely have got to step up here and get something going.”' … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Mittelstadt is building with each game
