Through the first month of the season, the Sabres might have the best player in the NHL.

Four goals in one game added up to an onslaught for the Bruins . The B's scored as many goals in a 4-2 victory over the Northeast Division-leading Buffalo Sabres last night at the Garden as they had in their last five games.

The easy way out for the Buffalo Sabres would have been to blame the kid for their second straight loss.

Jhonas Enroth may be days away from his NHL debut. Enroth, the Buffalo Sabres' top goaltending prospect, joined the team for Wednesday's 3-0 victory against the New York Islanders because of an injury to Patrick Lalime.

Jason Pominville smiled every time. While sitting in the hospital, overjoyed with the birth of his first child, Pominville would hear the same line whenever a nurse came to visit.

The Buffalo Sabres will be seeking to exact some revenge tonight when they welcome the streaking New York Islanders for a battle at HSBC Arena.

The Sabres skated Tuesday afternoon at HSBC Arena with a full compliment of players back from battling various problems.

Jeff Tambellini netted a hat trick and Martin Biron was perfect in net for the New York Islanders, who shut out the Buffalo Sabres 5-0 Saturday night at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

The red-hot Buffalo Sabres will aim for a fourth consecutive victory when they welcome the lowly Toronto Maple Leafs for tonight's Northeast Division battle at HSBC Arena.

Ryan Miller made 31 saves and the Buffalo Sabres completed a perfect road trip with a 4-1 win against the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center.

The New Jersey Devils didn't show up for the first period and that's all the Buffalo Sabres needed to remain unbeaten on the road.

Ruff lets out a little sigh, makes a remark along the lines of, "As I said yesterday," then praises the 19-year-old. Here's a little good news/bad news for Ruff.

Last week, we remarked that the chest protector of Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist seemed rather large, perhaps even illegal.

Patrick Lalime has been on the shelf since the preseason, but Ryan Miller's back up gets the call tonight against Atlanta.

It's the back story that's snipped off the beginning of every highlight. The play before the play.

It wasn't exactly a thing of beauty, but Tyler Myers' first National Hockey League goal looked good on the scoreboard.

Rookie blue liner Tyler Myers gave the Sabres an early 1-0 lead over the Islanders with his first career NHL goal.

Thomas Vanek scored twice and Derek Roy had three assists as part of a four-goal second period in leading the Buffalo Sabres to a 6-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.
