'Buffalo was all over New Jersey from the start of the second, turning a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead after just four minutes. From that point on the Sabres never looked back and spent most of the next 16 minutes generating chances. If it weren't for a couple huge saves from Kinkaid, it's not unrealistic to think the Sabres could've scored seven goals in the second.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres stomp Devils 5-1 thanks to second period swarm

'This was easy. Eichel is having his best season as a pro and if he keeps producing points at his current pace, he'll be a strong candidate to win the Hart Trophy at the end of the season. In 40 games the Sabres 22-year-old captain has 15 goals and 34 assists good for 49 points. His hot start has earned him a second consecutive trip to the NHL All-Star game and has helped put … [Read more...] about 2018-2019 midseason awards for the Buffalo Sabres

'With their win against the Panthers, the Sabres have officially reached the halfway point of the season with 41 games played and 41 games to go. If you told most fans at the start of the season the Sabres would be 22-13-6 after 41 games I'd imagine they would've been pretty content.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Skinner scores twice as Sabres top Panthers 4-3

'These issues were on display against the Islanders once again as the Sabres failed to generate any sustained pressure until the third period. To be frank, without Eichel the Sabres are a team with two productive players on offense and a whole lot of depth guys who can't be counted on to produce. As of right now, Johan Larsson is their most productive center. That's an issue.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Eichel leaves early in Sabres 3-1 loss to Islanders

'Despite only an 18.5% chance at landing the top pick, the balls bounced in the Sabres favor for only the third time in franchise history, giving the Sabres the rights to Swedish Sensation Rasmus Dahlin. In his first 39 games with the Sabres, Dahlin has lived up to the hype, scoring four goals and tallying 20 points. For an 18-year-old rookie, it's hard not to be excited about … [Read more...] about Year In Review — 2018 Buffalo Sabres

'The Sabres struck first in the first period after Marco Scandella notched his second goal of the season. After the Bruins came back and tied it up, Johan Larsson scored his second career shorthanded goal, his fourth goal of the season, to give the Sabres the lead once again. That lead lasted until the final two minutes of regulation when Jake DeBrusk scored on the Bruins power … [Read more...] about Sabres fall to Bruins 3-2 in overtime

'Perhaps with the money cleared up from the Patrik Berglund situation, the Sabres can use some of their draft capital and cap space to add a second line center, sliding Mittelstadt into a role he’s better suited for as of right now. There is no doubt in my mind that Mittelstadt is going to turn into a very good NHL player. Perhaps that even happens before the end of the year. … [Read more...] about What should be on Sabres GM Jason Botterill’s Christmas list?

'If the Sabres can in fact terminate Berglund's contract like they intend to, this is a huge win for GM Jason Botterill. Like many, I thought adding Berglund in the offseason would provide the Sabres with some desperately needed depth and secondary scoring. But it clearly never worked out and I'm sure both sides were frustrated.' … [Read more...] about Sabres waive Patrik Berglund with intent to terminate contract

'The Sabres and Capitals were tied at the end of regulation and neither team was able to score in the five-minute overtime period. In the shootout, Eichel and Tage Thompson both missed their shots while Casey Mittelstadt scored in the 3rd round to keep the Sabres alive. After Alex Ovechkin capitalized on his 4th round shot, Jason Pominville's shot was stopped, ending the game.' … [Read more...] about Sabres come up short, fall to Capitals in shootout
