Press Clips December 8, 2018 Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips December 8, 2018 Sabres hope to have that refreshed look for Saturday's matinee By Mike Harrington The Buffalo News December 7, 2018 A little R&R. And some real live actual practices. Things have been quite a bit different for the Buffalo Sabres the last few days as they finally got a chance to catch their collective breath after an intense stretch of hockey that lasted nearly a month. When they hit the ice for Saturday's 1 p.m. game against the Philadelphia Flyers in KeyBank Center, the Sabres should actually be refreshed. It will be nearly four days since their last game, Tuesday's overtime classic against Toronto. Most important, the team won't simply be trying to power through another game. That's what happens when you have five back-to-backs since the start of November and 11 games in a 19-day stretch that ended Tuesday. Frankly, it was monumental to squeeze an 11-3-1 November and 10-game winning streak into this part of the schedule. The current 0-2-2 stretch was an outgrowth of compacted games against rugged opponents. "A lot of times you lose practice time and we understand that," winger Conor Sheary said Friday in KeyBank Center after the Sabres completed their first back-to-back practice days since Nov. 14-15. "So when you get these kind of days here and you want to take advantage of them, really work on your special teams and your 5- on-5 play and get better at them. It's definitely good for us." "It's been refreshing," added defenseman Zach Bogosian. "It's good to see a little slowdown of pace in the schedule. It doesn't mean the games are going to be any less intense but it's nice to get a few days between games and throw a day off in there too." Among the tasks the Sabres completed Friday was tinkering with their slumping power play, which is 1 for its last 13. On the top unit, the Sabres put Tage Thompson at a point with Rasmus Ristolainen while moving Jack Eichel from his off wing to his natural side. On the other unit, Kyle Okposo was put in the net-front position. "During the win streak, we got away with a couple things — slow starts, maybe sitting back a little bit — and we still found ways to win," said Okposo, who is slated to play his 700th career NHL game. "That's great because at the end of the day what matters is getting two points, but we really want to get back to our process, our identity, the way we can play every night. That's going to create a lot of success." The Sabres were giving up too many quality scoring chances and too many shots in general as the streak wound down, and through their losses in Tampa Bay and Florida. They cut back on those quite a bit in the losses at Nashville and against the Leafs, whom they outshot, 41-30. "We were winning games when we were getting outchanced, but we were opportunistic and resilient and stuck with the game," Sheary said. "We've actually played pretty well these last couple games. We were one shot away from a win the last game against Toronto and one from tying it in Nashville. You just have to stick with it." The visit by the Flyers will conjure up memories of perhaps the zenith of the streak — the four-goal first-period blitz here Nov. 21 that wowed a national television audience and set the stage for a 5-2 win, No. 7 on the run. "You can never underestimate your opponent, and in this league it's tough to win," said coach Phil Housley. "The start we had against Philly — they're going to have their horns up, so to speak, ready to play. We understand that, but we have an opportunity to control what we can control and that's our start." The Sabres have to be ready from the opening faceoff now. Opponents know all about the streak. They check the standings and see where Buffalo is, and it's a place many of them aspire to reach. Quite a bit different than the last few years. "That's a part of growing up, a part of changing a mindset," Okposo said. "You have to know you're going to get everybody's best. Teams aren't going to come in and sleep the first couple periods then try to turn it on and win it in the third. That's just not going to happen. They're going to be ready to play." "We're not going to change our game, depending upon who we're playing or if we think they're going to come at us," Sheary said. "We're going to have the mentality we're going to go at them, be on our toes and be the aggressor in the situation. It's exciting to be in the spot we're in, but we've still got a lot to prove and a lot to do. It's just a start for us." After Saturday's game, the next one is not until Tuesday against Los Angeles at home. Arizona comes to town Thursday. In total, that means just three games in a nine-day stretch. With injuries piling up, especially on defense, this couldn't come at a better time. "It's invaluable the rest that we're getting," Housley said. "We've been working hard and turned up the tempo in practices, but they haven't been real long because we're trying to use this time to boost our energy. I think the guys are in a good place right now." Sabres Notebook: With Hutton down, Wedgewood called up; Flyers recall ex- Buffalo prospect Varone By Mike Harrington The Buffalo News December 7, 2018 The injury bug that has spread through the Buffalo Sabres' defense corps has now reached its starting goaltender. Carter Hutton, who is tied for third in the NHL in wins and was a key cog on the team's recent 10-game winning streak, is out of the lineup with an unspecified upper-body injury and will not play in Saturday's matinee against Philadelphia in KeyBank Center. Coach Phil Housley said after practice Friday that Hutton is listed as day to day. The injury apparently happened during Monday's 2-1 loss in Nashville and Housley said Hutton got stiff on the bench while serving as the backup during Tuesday's overtime loss to Toronto. Hutton had what was termed a maintenance day off the ice Thursday and did not skate Friday. The Sabres have called up Scott Wedgewood from Rochester to serve as Linus Ullmark's backup. "We're just being cautious with it, giving him a maintenance day yesterday," Housley said Friday when asked about Hutton. "He's still day to day and he hasn't really skated. We want to get him a practice or some ice before" a potential return to the lineup. Hutton is 12-8-1 this season with a 2.60 goals-against average and .917 save percentage. But he was sensational during the team's winning streak, going 8-0/1.97/.936. "It's unfortunate to hear about what's going on with 'Hutts' right now," Wedgewood said. "Obviously hoping for a quick recovery from him, so I'll enjoy my time here and make the most of it." The Sabres also recalled defenseman Matt Tennyson after having sent him to Rochester on Wednesday to play in the Amerks' win over Utica. It's expected that Tennyson will make his season debut in the NHL Saturday because Jake McCabe and Casey Nelson are listed as week to week with their upper-body injuries and Marco Scandella, who remains day to day, has not practiced due to his ailment and has been out of the lineup the last five games. Jack Eichel and Zach Bogosian, who both were on maintenance days Thursday, returned Friday and practiced fully. • • • The Flyers recalled former Sabres farmhand Phil Varone from Lehigh Valley and he could make his Philadelphia debut in Saturday's game. Varone, 28, is second in the AHL in scoring with 28 points in 22 games, collecting 11 goals and 17 assists. He was the AHL's most valuable player last season after compiling 23 goals and 47 assists to finish second in the league in scoring with 70 points. Varone spent 5 1/2 years in the Sabres organization and led the Rochester Amerks in scoring in 2010-11 (11-41- 52), 2013-14 (18-43-61) and 2014-15 (15-29-44). He had five goals and four assists in 42 career games with the Sabres before he was traded to Ottawa in 2016. • • • The Sabres enter the game 9-2-2 at home this season and 7-0-2 in their last nine. They have not had a 10-game point streak at home since going 6-0-4 from Dec. 13, 2011 to Feb. 10, 2012. … Thirteen of Buffalo’s last 14 games have been one-goal affairs, including the last seven (3-2-2). The Sabres have played eight straight decided by one goal or tied only one time in franchise history, going 3-3-2 from March 15-April 3, 1999. … The Sabres are 4-0 in matinees and Saturday's game is the fifth of 11 scheduled this season, home and away.

  • Fitzgerald Scores Twice in 5-4 P-Bruins Ot Win
    Providence Bruins Nathan Roberts [email protected], 401.680.4734 Eddie Pannone [email protected] FITZGERALD SCORES TWICE IN 5-4 P-BRUINS OT WIN Providence, RI – The Providence Bruins defeated the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in overtime Friday night 5-4 in the first of back-to-back games against the team. The P-Bruins got two goals from Ryan Fitzgerald along with goals from Colby Cave, Trent Frederic and Josh Hennessy while Zane McIntyre made his 40th start of the season in net. Providence didn’t get a shot for the first nine minutes, but got the first goal of the night thanks to Fitzgerald. He used a back hand, forehand move to get Phantoms’ goaltender Dustin Tokarski committed and snuck one in at 10:47 for his 16th goal of the season. Austin Czarnik assisted on the play, moving him 10th all-time in team history with 147 points. Their 1-0 lead was short lived, as at 12:21 Danick Martel scored from in close to tie things up 1-1 into the intermission. The second period proved to be a battle between the P-Bruins and the Phantoms, as each team fought for the lead. Providence did not get a shot for the first five minutes, but their first of the period resulted in a goal. A beautiful slap- past from Connor Clifton set up Cave wide open in the left slot and he hit the open net at 5:05 to for his 10th goal of the season. The Phantoms were persistent and tied things up again two minutes later 2-2 with a goal from Corban Knight, jamming in a shot on a rebound after a breakaway from Chris Conner.

  • Buffalo Sabres Digital Press
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips January 13, 2015 Sabres’ McCormick out of hospital after blood clot treatment By Staff Report Associated Press January 12, 2015 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Sabres forward Cody McCormick has been released from the hospital after being treated for having a blood clot in his leg. Coach Ted Nolan said following practice Monday that McCormick is recuperating at home. Nolan called it a good sign, but cautioned there is no timetable for the player's return. McCormick was hospitalized over the weekend after the clot was discovered. He scored his first goal of the season in a 2-1 loss at Tampa Bay on Friday. The Sabres called up forwards Phil Varone and Zac Dalpe from their AHL affiliate in Rochester. Dalpe has yet to play for the Sabres since signing with the team last summer. Varone is back in Buffalo after playing three games last week. Buffalo hosts Detroit on Tuesday night. Red Wings happy to be part of tribute to Hasek By Mike Harrington Buffalo News January 12, 2015 After all the Vezina and Hart trophies, after No Goal and the killer overtime losses in Games Six and Seven against Pittsburgh that finally ended his Buffalo career in 2001, Dominik Hasek forced a trade to Detroit to pursue his Stanley Cup. It turned out Hasek got two of them, one as the Red Wings’ key man in goal in 2002 and the other as Chris Osgood’s backup in his 2008 swan song to the NHL. So it’s more than appropriate the Wings will be on the other side of the ice tonight when the No.
