Sabres win wild one against Devils in shootout.
The Sabres have looked awful this season to say the least, but there has been some good improvement since Ron Rolston took over as head coach. The Sabres are riding a 3 game winning streak keeping them only 4 points out of the playoffs and as much as some fans want us to end with the #1 overall pick, this is looking like a change of things for this season. The Sabres started off great with a shorthanded goal for Pominville taking the lead. Hodgson and Pominville played amazing Co Ho notching 2 assists and Pominville with two goals. A very chippy game it was with Ott and Kaleta really getting to the Devils skin. Kaleta drew a penalty when Kovalchuck hit him in the face during the game. The game was all tied up at 3 at the mid point of the third but the Devils were really applying the pressure in the Sabres zone. Miller made some key saves in the end to keep the game tied. The defense again had a sloppy performance but in particular Myers had another bad performance. He was at a -1 on the night and again had sloppy stick handling. In OT the Sabres were on a power play with only 24 seconds left and nearly put it in when Ehroff threw the puck on net having Pominville tipping it wide. Ennis and Henrique were scrapping at the end of OT after Ennis took a slap shot at the end of the period. The Sabres got back at Henrique in the shoot out when Pominville and Ennis scored but what was even more sweet was when Miller robbed Henrique at the end then trash talking when Henrique said "Next Time". The Sabres take on NY Rangers Sunday at MSG which will be a intense and important game for both teams who are fighting to get back into the playoff race.
