'When you look at the schedule this week, it really could be a lot worse for Buffalo than it is. There are only three games where two teams that you don't want to get points are playing each other. Those games are Ottawa at Carolina, Ottawa at New Jersey and the Islanders at Detroit.' … [Read more...] about The Sabres get to sit and watch teams pick up points on them

'"It's a long time away from playing, it's a long time from being on the ice. We have to be ready coming out of the break to play our best hockey. Have a break, put your feet in the sand a little bit. But also take care of yourselves, get a workout in because it comes quick right after the break."' … [Read more...] about From The Locker Room: Sabres-Blackhawks

'"They came out pretty strong, kind of like how Colorado did the other night there, in the first few shifts. Once we got that goal we kind of settled in. Obviously we knew we were playing a much better team in St. Louis this afternoon. They scored first and we needed to respond and that's what we did."' … [Read more...] about From The Locker Room: Sabres-Blues

'In 25 games with Buffalo Fedun has no goals and seven assists.' … [Read more...] about The Sabres waive a defenseman and call up a forward

'Inside a game Moulson might play with seven or eight of the 11 forwards. He said at times he can roll with it, “It depends, we have a lot of good players on this team so it’s easy to play with the guys out there, but when you get out there, there are different situations and it’s easier to play with different guys, so just mentally I have to be ready to go whenever it’s my … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Moulson looking for more ice-time

'"There are a number of teams who absolutely are looking for an upgrade up front and somebody they can inject into their top-six," Dreger said with Andrew Peters and Martin Biron on The Instigators on Friday. "There are lots of teams most definitely looking for a top-six player. Evander Kane, when healthy and motivated which he appears to be on both fronts, he can be an impact … [Read more...] about Dreger: Kane’s return value might be as good as it gets

'There has not been a whole heck of a lot to cheer about this period, or this game for that matter. Evander Kane may just have put this one out of reach by doing it all by himself in the offensive zone. 2-0 BUF.' … [Read more...] about Sabres shut out Colorado 2-0

'"They came out hard the first minute, minute and a half...didn't have much for the rest of the period. Then we took over. We made a big push in the 2nd, even in the 3rd. We hit a couple of posts, missed a couple of open nets. We could have put it away earlier, I think it was bouncing in the wrong direction for us a little bit."' … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Avalanche

'"We came in after the 2nd and we weren't discouraged. We knew that the game was right there. We had been doing a lot of good things all night. We just stuck to our gameplan. Jack's line did a great job of getting that goal early in the 3rd to kind of set the tone for us and I was fortunate enough to get that one at the end."' … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Senators

'"A good turnover game for our team is 40 to 45 [turnovers], and a bad turnover game for us is when you get to 55 to 65," Bylsma said. "We take turnovers and puck management a bit different than maybe you see on the game sheet. But I said to Jack if you're not turning over the puck over five times a game, you're not playing well. If he goes to the red-line and chips every puck … [Read more...] about Bylsma: We have to let Jack be Jack

'“I didn’t name anyone, I said we. It’s not about Jack’s line, it’s not about me, it’s not about Ristolainen, it’s about all of us as a team, it’s about doing the small things. It’s about me making an extra save, Jack is our best player, end of story. When he’s going, we’re all going, but when he’s not going, we’ve got to have other guys going. We’ve got to help each other out, … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Lehner said he would never call out a teammate

'As I try to figure out what’s wrong with this team I sometimes wonder if they’re afraid to make a mistake because they’ll get yelled at. Eichel said, “To be honest with you no I’m not. Maybe that’s one of the downfalls, even looking at a game like Toronto, we get up 3-0 and it seems like we just sit back and we’re almost afraid to push against them and try to score the fourth … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Eichel said he can only do his part
