'At last, in the Sabres 28th game of the season, a defenseman scored a goal. If you had Jake McCabe in your office pool, you win!' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres snap skid, top Avalanche 4-2

'Botterill likely reached out to the Los Angeles Kings organization to see if they would be willing to let Moulson play for the Reign. According to LA Kings Insider Jon Rosen, Moulson has family ties to the area, making it a more appealing destination for the veteran forward. It is unclear whether or not this was something Moulson asked for or if this was an idea from the … [Read more...] about Matt Moulson won’t play in Rochester, loaned to Ontario Reign

'Moulson, 34, appeared in 14 games with the Sabres this season, failing to register a point. In 2014-2015, Moulson signed a five-year, $25 million contract with the Sabres. Moulson is set to become an unrestricted free-agent after the 2018-2019 season.' … [Read more...] about Sabres place Matt Moulson on waivers

'There's a reason Wilson appeared in 20 games with the Penguins during their most recent Stanley Cup run. If he's good enough for the Penguins in the playoffs, he's worth a look for the worst team in the NHL, plain and simple. If it doesn't work out it only cost the Sabres a fifth-round pick.' … [Read more...] about Sabres acquire two-time Stanley Cup champion Scott Wilson

'Fans are no longer wondering if the Sabres will win, but if they will even score a goal. After this stretch that shouldn't come as a surprise.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Penguins take down Sabres 5-1

'More often than not the Sabres opponent is the more talented team. As expected, that was the case on Friday as the Penguins dominated the Sabres in almost every aspect of the game. As each game passes it becomes more and more obvious that the Sabres are one of, if not the worst team in the NHL. Only room for improvement, right?' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Penguins blank Sabres 4-0

'How's this for perspective? This season the Lightning have 88 goals in 24 games while the Sabres have 55 goals in 25 games. At the end of the day, the Sabres have a lot of problems but lack of scoring is certainly one of their most pressing issues.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Lightning blank Sabres 2-0

'Well, that didn't take long. In his first game since early November, Ristolainen was all over the place and led all Sabres defensemen in ice time, finishing the night with 27:32. He even added an assist on Okposo's empty-net goal as the cherry-on-top.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres snap skid, top Oilers 3-1

'Oh, it's no fantasy, the Sabres struggles are very real and things seem to be going from bad to worse. November has been a horrendous month for the Sabres who have now lost seven straight games, but by now you know all about the losing streak. As a matter of fact, horrendous might be putting it lightly.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Wild take down Sabres 5-4

'So here we are, getting excited about a piece of clothing because there's not much else to be excited about.' … [Read more...] about Sabres reveal Winter Classic jersey

'For the second straight night, the Sabres best player was their goaltender and for the second straight night, they lost. This time Chad Johnson was between the pipes, turning away 31 of 33 shots faced. Both Carolina goals came on odd-man rushes as Johnson was left basically out to dry. For as much criticism as both Johnson and especially Lehner get on social media, they hardly … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Hurricanes top Sabres 3-1

'You could certainly make the argument that players like Jack Eichel, Kyle Okposo and Sam Reinhart need to step up and that's true. But lack of scoring from the Sabres third and fourth line continues to be a major problem. If that wasn't bad enough, the Sabres still don't have a goal from a defenseman 19 games into the season.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Red Wings take down Sabres 3-1

'If Buffalo has any chance of climbing out of the massive hole they've dug 18 games into the season they need to start winning these close games. In their last three games they have scored first and in every game they have lost. These are precious points slipping away, especially for a team that has little room for error.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Penguins top Sabres 5-4 in OT

'For nearly the entire second period and the first half of the third period, Buffalo's offense disappeared. When they finally woke up it was too late, losing to the only team in the Eastern Conference that entered the night with fewer points. This was a game the Sabres needed to build some momentum. Instead, they looked flat and couldn't generate much of anything.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Panthers knock off Sabres 4-1

'In the second period Capitals forward Tom Wilson plastered Sam Reinhart into the boards with a hit in the Sabres' zone. Almost immediately after the hit while Reinhart remained on the ice, Jake McCabe went after Wilson, as the two dropped the gloves. Believe it or not, this was actually the first fight during a Sabres game this season; on the ice that is.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres top Capitals 3-1
