My inner Homer Simpson gave a little “woo-hoo!” at the end of this game. The Buffalo Sabres (12-7-0) once again shook off a big loss and responded with a good win. In this case, they defeated the Carolina Hurricanes (6-11-3) 1-0 in Carolina. Jhonas Enroth got the shutout victory for the Sabres by stopping all 34 shots that he faced.
It wasn’t a perfect night for the Sabres, but they finally started out a game on the right foot. After trailing 2-0 early in the last two games, the Sabres went up 1-0 on Friday via a power play goal mid-way through the first period from Jason Pominville. Thomas Vanek and Brad Boyes assisted on the power play goal.
Sure the Sabres got out-shot 34 to 20. Part of that is a function of a team playing from behind, in the third period, the Hurricanes had 14 shots while the Sabres only had 6. But the Sabres stuck to what has worked for them this season. They converted one of their two power play opportunities while holding the Hurricanes scor...

Jhonas Enroth backstopped the Buffalo Sabres to yet another win tonight, shutting out the below-average Carolina Hurricanes offense. The rookie has now won seven of his 10 appearances, improving his already stellar 2.19 GAA and .926 SV% to 1.94 GAA and .935 SV%. Without those wins the Sabres most certainly would not be sitting atop the Northeast Division...

Good win last night in Raleigh.
Sabres host @Biznasty2point0 and the Phoenix Coyotes tonight.
* One-Timers *:
Jhonas Enroth will make his third start in row in relief of Ryan Miller. Back to back games shouldn't be a concern for the young Swede. Earlier in the week Enroth commented that he is not fatigued in any way right now.

What reward did the Buffalo Sabres (12-7-0) earn with a hard fought victory in Carolina on Friday night? Why, the right to run right home to Buffalo to face the Phoenix Coyotes (9-5-3) on Saturday night. If this sounds like a familiar scenario, that’s because it is. 2011-12 marks the second straight season where the Sabres play the most back-to-back games in the NHL.

So much for starting a serious home stand with a win.
The Phoenix Coyotes brought their five road wins to Buffalo on Saturday. Fon ns ir some unknown reason, Buffalo are road warriors and home drones with 5 wins in 10 games at First Niagara Center.
Don't blame Jhonas Enroth for this loss. The young Swede would love to have the Doan goal back, however, his teammates let him down by no...
