'"Obviously it's an exciting time for me and my family, we're definitely looking forward to it," Mittelstadt said. "Obviously to get out here and get a few games in will definitely be fun, kind of get up to the speed of the game and get going."' … [Read more...] about Mittelstadt: this was the right decision for me

'While nothing is certain, I fully expect Mittelstadt to be on the Sabres' opening night roster next season. If we learned anything this year it's that the #Sabres are in desperate need of adding talent to their roster, something Mittelstadt can certainly provide.' … [Read more...] about Sabres sign Casey Mittelstadt to entry-level deal

'Will Borgen immediately becomes one of the Buffalo Sabres top prospects, especially on the blue line. Despite never putting up huge numbers in college or even in high school, Borgen has been a consistently dominant defenseman at every level. He's by no means a lock to be a productive NHL player but certainly an intriguing prospect the Sabres couldn't let slip away.' … [Read more...] about Sabres sign highly touted prospect Will Borgen

'At one point during the Sabres broadcast, analyst Rob Ray said: "let's just go home....let's just leave." No truer words have ever been spoken.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Rangers top Sabres 5-1

'In three games played this week the Sabres have only one goal [one goal in nine periods]. Friday proved to be another glorious example of why the Sabres have found the back of the net fewer than any other team. For those keeping track at home, the Arizona Coyotes, who have also spent the entire season in the league basement, now have 11 more goals than the Sabres.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres shut out by Canadiens 3-0

'Buffalo actually outshot Nashville 35-32, but Pekka Rinne was stellar. He was only beaten twice, and on both occasions, the Sabres' shots rang off the post. Sometimes you just run into a hot goalie, and that's what happened to the Sabres on Monday.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Predators blank Sabres 4-0

'It would be safe to say that Saturday was one of the best games Nick Baptiste has played in the NHL. Baptiste scored the game tying goal in the third period and the game-winner with less than two minutes to play, helping the Sabres get a much needed win. After the game, Baptiste told reporters that his parents were in the stands and they've never seen him score a goal in the … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres top Blackhawks 5-3

'Despite their rest, the Sabres fell behind 2-0 less than halfway through the first period while Toronto dominated play at both ends of the ice. When these two teams met 11 days ago, the Sabres start propelled them to a win. Replicating their start from last week would've gone a long way for the Sabres. Instead, they played catch up all game. The only problem, they never … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Maple Leafs stomp Sabres 5-2

'"It's good to be back with the team, the toughest thing about being injured is not being on the ice with them every day and not spending that quality time that you enjoy so much," Eichel said after Tuesday's skate. "You know, you really enjoy being back out there and practicing and getting the battles in. That's the stuff you miss when you're injured."' … [Read more...] about Eichel returns to practice with Sabres after suffering ankle injury last month

'With his goal on Saturday, Bailey now has three goals in only eight games played this season. While Saturday was certainly a nice effort, Bailey's issue has been consistency. It seems like after a few games he starts to blend in, which can't happen if he wants to stay in the NHL. Goal aside, if he played every game like he did on Saturday afternoon he wouldn't be heading back … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Golden Knights top Sabres 2-1 in SO

'You could make the argument that Chad Johnson has been one of the Sabres best players since the last time the Flames and Sabres met. That wasn't the case on Wednesday, as he allowed four goals before the halfway point of the second period. After the Flames made it 4-0 Johnson was pulled and Robin Lehner came in for relief.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Flames knock off Sabres 5-1

'In his first stint with the Sabres this season, Brendan Guhle was one of the best players on the ice. Against the Maple Leafs Guhle was solid, which isn't a bad thing for someone playing in their sixth NHL game. At times Guhle showed why he has so many fans excited, flying up the ice and jumping into the rush. But with the good came the bad, as Guhle had a few missed passes … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres top Maple Leafs 5-3
