PLAYERS: Marcus Foligno,  Nick Foligno,  Kyle Turris,  Ryan Miller,  Paul Gaustad,  Erik Condra,  Zack Smith
TEAMS: Ottawa Senators,  Buffalo Sabres

It was a night for stories, with sibling rivalry, a fresh start, a shaky star goaltender looking for redemption and the return of veterans to the blue line. All that is enough excitement for one game, but this game surprisingly had very little going on until the third period. Marcus Foligno got his NHL debut with the Buffalo Sabres against his older brother Nick Foligno suiting up for the Sens. With family in attendance, neither Foligno got on the scoreboard, but it surely was a milestone. Kyle Turris managed to get his first point with the Senators, which was an assist on the Condra goal in the third. He didn’t have a bad night overall with responsible play away from the puck, but very few opportunities to get shots on goal, something which will improve as he gets used to working with his linemates.

GARTH: Miller

Via HockeyBuzz  |  December 20, 2011
I told you yesterday afternoon that Ryan Miller and Jason Pominville admitted that they had not heard about owner Terry Pegula's pointed comments.

One thing is for certain: the Sabres players do not read the newspaper....
