The Sabres lost in Calgary 5-2, but in reality, it was a one-goal game because of two empty net goals. I can’t say that I hated a lot of this game because Buffalo lost because they were 0-for-6 on the power play against the 30th ranked penalty kill.
Tage Thompson and JJ Peterka had hat tricks, and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 26 saves as Buffalo rolled to a 7-2 win over Boston.
The Sabres haven’t found the right partner for Power since he was drafted first overall in 2021 and arrived in the NHL in March 2022.
Rasmus Dahlin has recorded 15 assists in his last 15 games. Dahlin is two assists away from tying Mike Ramsey for the second-most assists (256) by a Sabres defenseman alltime. Dahlin is one goal away from tying Ramsey for the second-most goals by a defenseman in franchise history (73).
Edmonton – 30-15-3 | 63 points – 2nd place in the Pacific Division Buffalo – James Reimer (1-5-1, 3.05 GAA, .891 save %) Edmonton – Stuart Skinner (18-11-3, 2.71 GAA, .899 save %)
McLeod will return to the lineup for the Sabres on Saturday, just in time to make his return to Rogers Place and play his former team, the Edmonton Oilers, for the first time. McLeod has missed the past three games with what he described as a “nagging” upper-body injury.
The Buffalo Sabres fell 5-2 to the Calgary Flames on Thursday at Scotiabank Saddledome. Buffalo took a 2-1 lead with an early second-period surge, but the Flames fought back and successfully defended a one-goal lead for much of the final frame. They eventually secured the victory with two empty-net goals.
