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...

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...
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...

It was a weakened Colorado Avalanche team that came to the Bell Centre on Thursday. The Canadiens, who had been guilty of playing down to opponents in recent years, were able to pounce and get out to a quick lead, carrying that all the way to a 7-3 win. It improved their...
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. With how the Eastern Conference playoff race is, they are going to need at least 95 points to get in at this point. The team is eight points back with surging teams like the Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, and Montreal Canadiens all firmly ahead of them. This is seen as a transition year for the Maple Leafs after losing Mitch M...

The Carolina Hurricanes and Buffalo Sabres pulled of a very minor one-for-one trade over the weekend as the two teams announced the Sabres have acquired defenceman Gavin Bayreuther from the Hurricanes in exchange for forward prospect Viktor Neuchev. Bayreuther, 31, has been a staple on the Chicago Wolves of the AHL this season, scoring four times and collecting 13 points in 33 games. He's a 6-foot-2 left-shot blueliner who is under contract through the 2026 season at an NHL price tag of $775,0...

The Islanders are back from the road and primed for that classic “first game after the trip” letdown, although several games on their Western sojourn were a letdown, so hopefully they don’t feel like they can ease into things.

Tage Thompson’s line gets the puck to the front of the net just 15 seconds in. That can’t happen with the same regularity it did last week if Montreal wants to win.
At the 44-second mark, Buffalo gets the puck past Lane Hutson at the blue line, and Jason Zucker scores on the ensuing two-on-one. Montreal didn’t hear the wake-up call 30 seconds earlier.

On January 18th in 1997, San Jose Sharks forward Owen Nolan called his shot and scored on a breakaway against Buffalo Sabres goalie Dominik Hasek with 2 minutes left in the 47th NHL All-Star Game in San Jose, completing the hat trick and sending hometown fans into a frenzy.
