Episode Breakdown
Game Notes
- The Sabres lost another home game due largely to sloppy play in the defensive zone.
- The Sabres’ lineup got a little shakeup with MacArthur (who was a healthy scratch in the last game) filling in for Nathan Gerbe (who is out for about two weeks with an upper body injury). Patrick Kaleta (who missed 7 games with a head/neck injury) also replaced Andrew Peters on the fourth line.
- Kaleta had a great first game back: scoring a goal, drawing penalties, and throwing checks.
- Sabres goals came from Stafford (7), Kaleta (2), and Gaustad (3).
