Opinion: Cozens and Comrie leads the Sabres to a win in the season finale

'Dylan Cozens wasn’t all that interested after the game that he had two goals and an assist and he finished with three goals in the final two games. He said it’s the playoffs and only the playoffs and he said he will be thinking about missing the playoffs every time he’s on the ice and in the gym this summer.' … [Read more...] about Opinion: Cozens and Comrie leads the Sabres to a win in the season finale

Kucherov gets 99th assist for Lightning in loss to Sabres

'"These guys worked so hard for me," Comrie said. "It hasn’t been a great year for me, everyone knows that. I’ve gone through a lot of ups and downs this year, getting sent down and not winning for a long time. It was nice that my hard work and work ethic paid off. Whatever happens to me, it’s been an honor to play with these guys and an honor to be a Buffalo Sabre."' … [Read more...] about Kucherov gets 99th assist for Lightning in loss to Sabres

Sabres rally around Comrie in season-ending victory over Lightning

'The start marked Comrie’s first appearance since March 7. The 28-year-old’s season included a stint in Rochester and long stretches between games while he was in Buffalo. His attitude through it all – including setting a veteran example for the team’s two young goaltenders in Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Devon Levi – played into the coaching staff’s decision to start him against … [Read more...] about Sabres rally around Comrie in season-ending victory over Lightning

Sabres notebook: Anton Wahlberg making instant impact for surging Amerks

'And the Amerks’ lineup got even better recently with the addition of 2023 second-round pick Anton Wahlberg from Sweden. The 18-year-old power forward has a goal and three assists in six games. He’s a skilled, 6-foot-3 forward who can play center or wing – though he’s skated only at the latter in Rochester. And his skill set is an ideal complement to the plethora of speed and … [Read more...] about Sabres notebook: Anton Wahlberg making instant impact for surging Amerks

Observations: Sabres' OT loss to Panthers a reminder that loser points matter

'They need to manage situations in games the way they did Saturday night. It was only the second time since Dec. 23 that Buffalo earned a point by losing in overtime or a shootout. The Sabres’ 38 wins are more than the Metropolitan Division’s third-place New York Islanders (37), but the latter is in a playoff spot because they have 16 loser points. The standings would look … [Read more...] about Observations: Sabres’ OT loss to Panthers a reminder that loser points matter

Inside the NHL: A look at 13 moments that led to Year 13 of Sabres' playoff drought

'Then Quinn wrecked his ankle in the January win at San Jose and needed surgery. He will play only 27 games this season and you see the glimpses of what he was going to be for the season. He’s on a 26-goal pace even with several games just to get up to speed. No stretch to say Quinn could have been a 30- to 35-goal scorer this year if healthy.' … [Read more...] about Inside the NHL: A look at 13 moments that led to Year 13 of Sabres’ playoff drought

Reinhart gets his 55th goal to win it, Florida tops Buffalo 3-2 in OT to clinch home ice for Round 1

'The Sabres came through with another penalty kill with the game on the line. Buffalo’s Alex Tuch took a high-sticking penalty with 34.9 seconds left in regulation. Florida didn’t get a shot on goal before the third period expired, then had a 4-on-3 advantage to begin overtime as the power play continued — and the Sabres thwarted them again. “The penalty kill was very good and … [Read more...] about Reinhart gets his 55th goal to win it, Florida tops Buffalo 3-2 in OT to clinch home ice for Round 1
