'“It’s kind of ridiculous for someone to think that the fact that we’re out of the playoffs and we don’t have the opportunity to really do anything with our season that I would just pack my year in. It’s not who I am as a person, it’s not who I have ever been and it’s not who I am as a hockey player.”' … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Eichel thinks coming back to play from his injury is not controversial

'This game has fallen into the trap of so many others this season. The visitors are now content with running the time off of the clock, now that the Sabres have failed to convert on their early power play chance this frame. It was a carryover from the second period, and yielded little to no offense.' … [Read more...] about Nashville shuts out Sabres 4-0

'Just like they did against Chicago, the line of Evan Rodrigues, Nick Baptiste and Justin Bailey drove the Preds crazy with their speed. Early in the period, Baptiste blew in on the right wing side and got a puck past Pekka Rinne and into the crease. Justin Bailey had nothing but the wide open net, but he couldn’t knock the bouncing puck out of the air.' … [Read more...] about Sabres played well, but it’s still not good enough to beat the best

'Bailey was sent down and served a one-game suspension for an illegal check to the head during a game on March 11 against the Syracuse Crunch.

'I am not sure if it will officially be credited as a power play goal, but Nick Baptiste's beautiful tip of a Marco Scandella shot from the point has given Buffalo a one-goal lead late in this game. Great goal.' … [Read more...] about Sabres score late, defeat Chicago 5-3

'It was a pretty quiet return off the bat for Eichel. He appeared to be skating well, but really didn’t get loose for much in his 5:46 of playing time. He admitted in the postgame show that things were slow for him to start.' … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Eichel made his return from an ankle injury

'"Love the outcome. Big win. First time beating the Blackhawks [since 2009]. Huge home win, fun to be a part of. I thought we played well. They're a good team on the rush, and Johnson was really good in net for us."' … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Blackhawks

'Okposo said the hit was just a freak thing where two players didn’t see each until the last second. He admitted that when he left the ice, he was thinking about last season, “Yes, that runs through your mind thinking, ‘Oh no, I hope it doesn’t happen again' and then here we go, but it wasn’t really like that, I didn’t have many symptoms, mood wasn’t affected, sleep wasn’t … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Okposo returns to practice from a concussion

'Time is bleeding off of the clock, and playing right up into the hands of the Leafs, who are just looking to keep the game as is. The teams went a solid seven minutes without a whistle.' … [Read more...] about Toronto defeats the Sabres 5-2

'There have been at least three plays were Guhle has gotten behind the defense and a good pass would’ve been a tap in goal. Since this team can’t pass, the pass has been miles behind him each time. Guhle says he has a good feel for when to get up ice, “The main thing that I find is who you’re on the ice against, are they tired? Have they been into a long shift? Are we tired? … [Read more...] about Nelson and Guhle trying to make their marks

' "You could tell that we'd been off for a few days. Slow start got us behind the eight-ball. Never recovered, especially in our 5-on-5 play."' … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Maple Leafs

'Eichel might play on Saturday, but Housley said, “That could be a possibility, but I don’t want to put a timeline on it, I just feel that his progression is all that matters to us and he’s got to feel comfortable, but we’ll continue to evaluate it every day.”' … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Eichel continues to progress, but he won’t play Thursday

'He has four goals and six points in his last six games with the Amerks, but is currently suspended in the AHL for one game. The suspension was for a check to the head of a Syracuse player last Sunday. Bailey was supposed to sit out Thursday’s game.' … [Read more...] about The Sabres bring back Bailey
