Not sure what the injury situation is like for the Devils. The first two games could perhaps be blamed on goaltending (goalie pulled in the first game, second had a sub-par save percentage). The more recent 3 looked like they haven’t been able to finish, scoring 1, 1, and 2 goals.

Are we starting to see things unravel a bit for the Devils? They’ve lost 5 straight (0-4-1) and have a brutal 6 game stretch upcoming, facing the canes and bruins twice each, along with the Panthers and Penguins.

Florida is not currently in a playoff spot. Lot of teams competing for those wild card spots.

*2 games in hand. But the Isles are up 3-1 in the third, and should they win it would put them 5 points ahead of us and only 1 game ahead.

Up to 25 points and 49 points in 31 games after tonight.

Hopefully Power and Lybushkin are back for the Vegas game.

Bad look by Davies there

Outstanding for check on the PK

Oloffson with a nice move to get that shot off

While it is a little scary, it’s not necessarily bad news. Without Power we were down to 5 healthy defenseman last night. If Power only missed that game, we’d still be down to 6, and would need a 7th called up so that we have some injury insurance.

You’re really tryna speedrun getting banned, huh?

Clague played 23:56 today, while Fitzgerald played 14:24 and Pilut played 18:34. Is Clague now 7th on the depth chart when fully healthy? Could he beat out Bryson?

Krebs with some very good plays there

Krebs looked really good there

It’s not just the Sabres site, google and yahoo sports are both behind as well.

Whelp. Samuelsson-Dahlin gonna be playing 30 mins tonight. It’s quite scary to think about the other 30 minutes…

No way KA starts paying Tage more because NHL contracts can’t be re-negotiated. That contract is locked in already.

You mean 5 right?

I think it was also to try to fix the 3rd line which had been a black hole. I think Asplund-Krebs-Oloffson has a chance to be effective, but I doubt we’ll see Mitts on the bench once Skinner is back.

Tage is now tied for 2nd in the league in goals (with Jason Robertson) and is 3rd in points (between the Edmonton Duo)

Adding to that, JJP and Quinn have been producing like solid 2nd line wingers. Give it a year or two, and we could have 2 legitamite first lines.

They know he is the Sabres best, most consistent player and are trying to throw him off his game.

Should they go 6 skaters here?

Very weak call.
