April 9, 2013 So much for the winning streak. After three straight victories the Buffalo Sabres came crashing down to earth with a 4-1 loss in Winnipeg.

April 7, 2013 The Buffalo Sabres overcame a third period shorthanded goal and rallied to beat the New Jersey Devils 3-2 in a shootout Sunday night at First Niagara Center. Patrick Kaleta and Steve Ott scored the Buffalo goals, while Nathan Gerbe scored the only goal in the shootout to give Buffalo its third straight win.
April 5, 2013 Another one of those rare occasions when the Buffalo Sabres are on a winning streak. They battled back from down a goal in the third period to beat the Ottawa Senators Friday night at First Niagara Center 4-2. After Ottawa scored an early third period goal to take a 2-1 lead, Steve Ott scored for Buffalo to tie it. Then Brian Flynn and Jochen Hecht scored back to back goals 12 seconds apart to put the Sabres up by two leading Buffalo to its second straight win.
April 3, 2013 Today (April 3) was the trade deadline in the NHL, and the Buffalo Sabres have been known to string things out until the very end on this day. Such was the case today, as the Sabres just made a move to trade their former Captain Jason Pominville to the Minnesota Wild.
April 2, 2013 How do you figure these Buffalo Sabres? They lose against some of the worst teams in the NHL and beat some of the best. The Sabres ended a four-game losing streak with a 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins Tuesday night, ending the Penguins' 15-game winning streak, the second-longest winning streak in NHL history. The Penguins also own the NHL's longest winning streak, 17-games.
March 26, 2013 After a 3-game winning streak, the Buffalo Sabres played what can only be described as a lousy game to start their two-game Florida swing. They generated only nine shots thru two periods while falling behind 2-0 and eventually lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1.
March 21, 2013 The fans certainly got their money's worth Thursday night at First Niagara Center. The Buffalo Sabres twice trailed by two goals 2-0 and 3-1, but they battled back against the Toronto Maple Leafs and emerged with a 5-4 win in a shoot-out.

March 17, 2013 The Buffalo Sabres always seem to be one step and one pass behind. Losses have become pretty routine this season and they continue to find ways to lose. A couple of things remain pretty consistent. They've been playing some pretty bad hockey during the second period all season long and Sunday night in Washington was embarrassing.
March 14, 2013 Well, the NHL's new alignment is not perfect, that is for sure. The approval of the realignment was to better equip teams with more efficient travel and business efforts. In addition, there's a whole new playoff format as well. What does this mean for the Sabres?
March 13, 2013 For once the Sabres stayed out of the penalty box and it paid off. One of the league-leaders in penalty minutes, the Sabres drew just one minor penalty while skating to a 3-1 win over the New York Rangers. Marcus Foligno led the way with a pair of goals while after nearly a year and a half Jonas Enroth finally won a game.
