March 27, 2012 The Buffalo Sabres came up big in the biggest game of the year, to this point. The Sabres built a 3-0 lead and rolled to a 5-1 win over the Washington Capitals Tuesday night in Washington. Drew Stafford scored twice while Cody McCormick, Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville added singles. Ryan Miller stopped 44 shots leading the Sabres to their fifth straight win.
March 24, 2012 The Buffalo Sabres continue to battle for a playoff spot and helped their own cause by beating the New York Rangers in New York Friday night 4 to 1. Drew Stafford led the way with a pair of goals while linemate Tyler Ennis and Travis Turnbull, playing in his second game for the Sabres scored the other Buffalo goals
March 22, 2012 Since January the Buffalo Sabres have been battling up from the bottom of the standings and last night finally pulled into a tie with the Washington Capitals for the 8th and final playoff spot. Rookie Cody Hodgson scored twice - his first goals as a Sabre - while Ryan Miller stopped 34 shots for his 6th shutout of the season in a 3-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens.
March 15, 2012 For the second straight game the Buffalo Sabres gave up the tying goal in the closing seconds, but this time it cost them the game. The Colorado Avalanche pulled their goaltender for an extra skater with 1:30 left to play and the Avs needed almost all of it to finally break thru with the tying goal, scoring with just 1.9 seconds left in the third period. After a scoreless overtime, the Avs won it in a shootout for a stunning 5-4 victory.
March 13, 2012 It was the Tyler and Tyler show at First Niagara Center Monday night. Tyler Ennis scored twice in regulation while Tyler Myers scored in overtime to give the Sabres a 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens for Buffalo's fifth straight win on home ice. It moves the Sabres to within two points of Washington for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with 12 games left to play.
March 9, 2012 The Sabres played a solid 40 minutes in Boston Thursday night. The final 20 minutes cost them though. The Sabres were holding on to a 1-0 lead late in the second period when a turnover off the stick of newly aquired Cody Hodgson went to a Bruin and a deflected shot tied the game. Then in the third period the Bruins were the better team putting on heavy pressure on the Sabres until finally breaking thru for a pair of goals in a 3-1 win.
March 8, 2012 The Sabres came thru with an important victory Wednesday night in their drive to the playoffs. Jason Pominville's power play goal in overtime gave the Sabres a 3-2 win over Carolina to move the Sabres to within two points of the final playoff spot with 15 games left to play.
March 4, 2012 The Buffalo Sabres are 3 for 3 so far on their four game roadtrip. After shutout victories in Anaheim and San Jose the Sabres kept rolling along with a 5 to 3 win against the league-leading Vacouver Canucks. The Sabres built a 3-0 first period lead on a pair of goals by Ville Leino and one by Brad Boies, then held off the Canucks the rest of the way.
March 2, 2012 In two games out west the Sabres have yet to give up a goal. Ryan Miller posted his second straight shutout making 39 saves as the Sabres held off the San Jose Sharks 1-0 on Thursday night. That came just one night after he made 43 saves in a 2-0 win in Anaheim on Wednesday night. So that's 82 saves in consecutive nights for the Sabres goaltender.
February 12, 2012 Further evidence the Sabres will come up short of a playoff spot this season was there for all to see Saturday night at First Niagara Center. The Sabres floated thru two periods, put pressure on in the third, but came up short in a 2 to 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning
February 11, 2012 I still think they're going to miss the playoffs because they have just way too much ground to make up in the standings, but the Buffalo Sabres sure are playing well the past couple of weeks. Friday night at First Niagara Center they battled back from down 2-0 to beat the Dallas Stars in a shootout 3 to 2
February 9, 2012 I've always thought that goalies in the NHL had the coolest helmets in all of sports. I think it's great that they're allowed to show a bit of their personality along with some team spirit by getting their masks painted any way they like. Buffalo Sabres goalie Jonas Enroth just had his done and he gives us a closer look here.
