The view from Buffalo

Mike Harrington: A massive win for Lehner

“After posting a 1-6-3 record in his last 10 decisions — and earning only one victory at home all season — Lehner had to find a way to get a win. Any way.”

John Vogl: Make no mistake, goals allow Sabres to overcome miscues

“Scoring goals has, of course, been the Sabres’ biggest problem. They seemed on their way to scoring two or fewer for the 19th time in their 28 games, but suddenly fans were cheering and high-fives were happening. Buffalo scored four goals on five shots in a span of 6:13 to take the lead.”

“Eichel has five goals in seven games since returning from a left high ankle sprain that caused him to miss the first 21 games of the season.”

Buffalo thumps LA 6-3

“Have no fear though, Eichel combined with Ox to get Evander Kane a tap-in to put the Sabres back up by two. The remaining four minutes were much more palatable at that point, and Buffalo finally got an empty-netter too, with Sam Reinhart getting the cherry on top.”
