In his second game as a Sabre, Steve Heinze scores a hat trick in a 4-2 win over Vancouver at HSBC Arena. He of the Shaved Head certainly can use the hat. And the Sabres, who had been hot since the All-Star Break, could use the points as they try to nail down fourth place in the conference and home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
