'"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

'"First two periods I thought we tried to take it to them. In the 3rd, we played scared to lose, not to win. They're a good hockey team. We got to do for 60 minutes. In the third period I thought we were just getting rid of pucks, weren't forechecking too well, letting them set their breakout up and they played the whole period in our zone. It's frustrating. We'll work on it."' … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Penguins

'Sam Reinhart hasn’t produced all season long, but I thought in Montreal, he produced more offense than he had all season. Reinhart was put back on the wing with Jack Eichel and Evander Kane.

'"We can't get frustrated. We have to use this as motivation going into Pittsburgh now. We played 60 minutes tonight. I mean, my stick snaps, puts the puck right in the middle of the ice and they go down and score, that's the way it's going to happen. Good teams are going to finish on those. Could have happened to anyone."' … [Read more...] about From the Locker Room: Sabres-Canadiens
