Nikita Kucherov’s four-point night leads Lightning to 4-3 overtime victory over Sabres

Down three centers to start the game, and with their lines in a bit of a blender, the Tampa Bay Lightning still found a way to pull two points out of a game as Darren Raddysh tied it at the death, and Nikita Kucherov found Jake Guentzel in open ice in overtime. Guentzel didn’t miss as he beat Colton Ellis through the five-hole to give the Lightning the 4-3 overtime victory. The assist was Kucherov’s fourth point of the night as he had a goal and three assists to move to 90 points on the s...

Conspiracy Theory Emerges of How Panarin Can Get to the Panthers

The Florida Panthers blew a two-goal lead in a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres Monday night, the latest debacle in a season that's just been fraught with troubles right from the get-go. In fact, it started back in training camp when captain Aleksander Barkov  suffered a torn ACL and MCL.  Without him and Matthew Tkachuk for the first half of the year, the Panthers have had a dreadful season, and are now nine points back of a playoff berth, with four other teams to leapfrog as well.&nb...

Collapse continues as Panthers lose 5-3 to Sabres

The injury-riddled Florida Panthers blew an early two-goal lead and dropped their fourth consecutive game, falling 5-3 to the rising Buffalo Sabres at Amerant Bank Arena. Florida got off to a quick start, opening the scoring just 37 seconds in when Niko Mikkola’s slapper struck A.J. Greer in the back and fortoitous rookie Sandis Vilmanis sniped Alex Lyon’s glove for his second NHL goal. The puck luck continued as the Cats extended their lead at 5:54. Sam Reinhart missed wide, but mad...

Bottom Six Minutes: Mr. Saturday Night strikes again

The Montreal Canadiens played the biggest game of their season to date on Saturday night, visiting the Buffalo Sabres, who entered the game just ahead of the Habs in the standings. A win would not only move Montreal into third place, but close the gap between them and the teams at the very top of the division and conference. They opened the game with a strong first period, taking a one-goal lead with a power play goal, before a disastrous second period saw them enter the final frame trailing b...

Canadiens @ Sabres Top Six Minutes: Cole Caufield authors another comeback win

I would have rather seen Sammy Blais in the lineup than Joe Veleno to make up for the loss of Alexandre Texier, but for whatever reason NHL coaches just don’t seem to trust him. First period There’s a whole lot of red in the lower bowl in Buffalo. The pace is as high as I expected it to be in such a big game. The crowd seems pretty anxious to start however, or maybe they’re just enjoying the tempo. The players on both teams are little too amped maybe, making passes that...

Oilers Linked To Maple Leafs' Winger

With the Toronto Maple Leafs ' fifth loss in a row and seventh of their last eight games, they have fallen out of the playoff race unless they have a very strong finish.
