'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.

'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.

'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.

'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

'Buffalo was outplayed at both ends of the ice and Dallas made them pay, capitalizing on some nice rushes and hammering home two rebounds. Dallas only had two more shots than the Sabres but they dominated nearly the entire period.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Stars take down Sabres 5-1

'"You know I thought tonight [today] we probably deserved a little bit better fate but that's the game of hockey," Eichel said. "It's a long year, it's one month.

'All night Lehner seemed comfortable, putting together his best 60 minutes of the young season. After the game he was asked if putting up impressive numbers helps his confidence.
