'Since getting the call from the Blues, Rattie has only appeared in 30 games and registered eight points (4G, 4A). He's spent the majority of his professional career with the Blues' AHL affiliate Chicago Wolves, lighting up the league with 136 points in 193 games.' … [Read more...] about The Sabres should claim Ty Rattie

'The bad news -- Larsson is a center, and the Sabres don't have a ton of talent down the middle in Rochester. Cal O'Reilly seems like a viable option with Larsson out for an extender period of time, unless the Sabres opt to do some more roster shuffling. Without Larsson and Ryan O'Reilly the Sabres find themselves without two of their top three centers.' … [Read more...] about Report: Sabres’ Johan Larsson done for the year

'It seems like we’ve said this about the Sabres so many times this season — they either start fast of finish fast, but rarely play a complete 60-minute game. If Buffalo is going to start climbing their way up the standings, they’ll need to play a much more consistent game at both ends of the ice from start to finish.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Bruins knock off Sabres 3-1

'Bylsma said he wants to see more out of Eichel and saw flashes of that in Thursday’s game. Personally, I thought Eichel and Evander Kane were two of the Sabres best players against the Hurricanes.

'The Buffalo Sabres are getting really good at starting games slow. On Saturday they failed to get a win after giving up the first goal of the game -- something they've done in their last two contests. In the first 20 minutes the Sabres had only eight shots on net, and while they've unquestionably had worse periods this season, it just looked like they were tired -- which to a … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Hurricanes top Sabres 2-1 in OT

'So just how big of an impact does Eichel make? In the seven games that he’s played this season, the Sabres have 23 goals (3.28 goals per game). It's extremely impressive, especially when you consider the Sabres only had 39 goals in the 21 games (1.85 goals per game) played without Eichel.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Eichel, Sabres top Kings 6-3
