It's a whole lot of nothing for Sabres in Motown
'It was a game with a whole lot of nothing for the Sabres, who are 5-10-4. The Eastern Conference's last-place team managed just 20 shots on goal and only 37 attempts. They took undisciplined penalties, which hindered any chance at building momentum even though the penalty killers went 5 for 5. They seemed a step behind all night.' … [Read more...] about It’s a whole lot of nothing for Sabres in Motown
Sabres Notebook: Team does morning homework for debut in Little Caesars Arena
'"You go out to feel the ice. It's a very nice arena," goaltender Robin Lehner said. "I like the feeling in here. Nice and clean and bright. The boards were pretty bouncy but we know every arena is a little different. This one is fairly bouncy. Pucks were coming pretty fast off the boards."' … [Read more...] about Sabres Notebook: Team does morning homework for debut in Little Caesars Arena
The Wraparound: Red Wings 3, Sabres 1
'The Sabres were outshot, 21-10, through 40 minutes but were much better in the third period as Detroit only had a 12-10 advantage. But Buffalo couldn't get any other pucks past Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard and Dylan Larkin's goal with 4:06 left proved to be insurance for the Wings.' … [Read more...] about The Wraparound: Red Wings 3, Sabres 1

Tomas Tatar breaks tie in 3rd, Red Wings beat Sabres 3-1
'“They came at us in waves,” he said. “We know they have speed, but we didn’t respond to it.

Tatar goal lifts Red Wings past Sabres

From the Locker Room: Sabres-Red Wings
'"I have to mention [Lehner]. I can't say enough about his game all year. He's been outstanding. He makes 4 or 5 highlight reel saves every night. Nobody talks about it outside of probably this locker room. He deserves a lot of credit. We left him to hang out to dry. He should have had a shutout tonight with how well he played."' … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Red Wings
5 Observations: Red Wings take down 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

Sabres unable to slow down Red Wings attack in road loss
'"We've got to be smarter. When we're down one, we can't give them a 5-on-3," Sabres coach Housley said. "But I think it goes deeper than that. I thought we just got out-battled, out-worked and out-competed tonight. At times, we even looked slow and I don't why that is. But we played one game in six nights since then. It's disappointing."' … [Read more...] about Sabres unable to slow down Red Wings attack in road loss
