‘“We needed that focus, we needed to be dialed in and really stay consistent,” coach Don Granato said after the Sabres ended their two-game losing streak. “… There was a lot to fight through to make sure we were steadfast and how we wanted to play with pace and pressure, and a lot of things that could’ve caused ups and downs and distractions, I commend our guys staying very dialed in. Because we needed that win. And I think our room knew we needed that win.”’
