  • Press Clips December 29, 2014
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips December 29, 2014 Sabres rally to beat Islanders 4-3 in SO By Nick Mendola Associated Press December 27, 2014 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Nicolas Deslauriers didn't even see his goal that ignited Buffalo's comeback victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday night. With Buffalo down 3-0 early in the third period, Deslauriers' wrister from the slot sailed through three Islanders before beating goalie Kevin Poulin. "I heard it hit the post," Deslauriers said. "But I saw (Drew) Stafford and (Brian) Flynn putting their hands up, so I put mine up." The goal was the first of three third-period goals in just over 5 minutes for Buffalo, and Tyler Ennis scored in a shootout to give the Sabres a 4-3 victory and snap a four-game skid. It was Deslauriers' fourth goal of the season, and his second in two games. He also added an assist on Zemgus Girgensons' short-handed goal. "I'm just putting the puck on net and getting lucky odd bounces," Deslauriers said. "I'm not a guy who looks at my stats like that. It's more about finishing my hits and if I get a chance to bury one, I'll do my best." Chris Stewart also scored, and Jhonas Enroth made 17 of his 33 saves in the third period and overtime. "I thought their goalie obviously elevated," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. "I mean he was good tonight, but he made some big saves when he had to and that's what you need to do when you win hockey games." John Tavares scored twice, and Nick Leddy added a goal for the Islanders.

Red marks signify a change from the previous month, while black marks mean they were the same as last month. This is a personal method used to develop a better picture of the goalie landscape. $ SURGING: A frog-leap in the team’s depth chart, or a surge in perceived future value due to big performances. RISING: Moderate or impressive progress, or improved & momentum due to quality performances and statistics. STEADY: Value consistent with the previous month, or an " overall steady progress despite slightly lower or higher stats. FALLING: An overall value below the previous month, or ( uninspiring performances and a severe lack of consistency. CRASHING: A lost role within a team’s depth chart, or a $ disasterous performance that led to vastly reduced value.
