Sabres Notebook: Girgensons gets his chance to return
'"It's never fun to be out, not be able to help the team," Girgensons said. "But I wasn't performing at my best. It wasn't good enough.

Tarasenko delivers in OT, Blues clip Sabres
'"I think we respected that team in the beginning and they sort of got a lucky goal off a skate," said Sabres' coach Phil Housley. "We respected them too much. That's a good hockey team. That's a very good hockey team but until we got settled in and got back into the game, I thought our third period was really strong.

I think that's when we played their best."' … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Blues
