'This marks the second time that Eichel will appear in the All Star Game.' … [Read more...] about Sabres captain Jack Eichel named NHL All Star

'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

'Unlike their performance against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday the Sabres second line featuring Conor Sheary, Casey Mittelstadt and Kyle Okposo was outstanding on Thursday night. It seemed like every time the trio stepped onto the ice they were generating chances in the Coyotes' zone, forcing constant pressure.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres top Coyotes 3-1

'In the third period, the Kings were without two of their best defensemen in Drew Doughty and Dion Phaneuf. The Sabres capitalized, outshooting the Kings 16-4 and tying the game despite the two-goal deficit. It was the best. From the Sabres in recent memory, and they were rewarded for their efforts. That said after the game Jack Eichel made it pretty clear that his team will … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres snap losing streak, top Kings 4-3 in OT

'It's a good thing the Sabres gave themselves some wiggle room with their 10-game win streak. It goes without saying -- the last thing this team wanted to do was drop four consecutive games after tying the longest win streak in franchise history. But here we are, as the Sabres dropped their fourth straight game and 12th of the season [17-8-4].' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres lose fourth straight, falling to Maple Leafs 4-3 in OT
