Josh Allen has tied or given the #Bills the lead 13 times in the final two minutes and lost seven. But now #Buffalo is 4-0 this year when the defense takes the field in the last two minutes with a one-score lead. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/sabat...

So many want this to be a legacy-defining postseason for Josh Allen. Well, he delivered a gutsy performance to will the #Bills to another playoff win. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/josh-...

“Pure effort. Just on the puck, relentless to take it away. Just an awesome job.” More on Josh Doan's dogged effort to create a goal, how selling out and blocking shots has become contagious and the #Buffalo #Sabres' 13th win in the last 14 games: www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-defea...

Sabres win 5-3. That's 13 of the last 14. Incredible.

Josh Norris scores an empty-net goal after some strong work by Alex Tuch behind the net.

Uh, the Ducks just scored again w/47.6 seconds left. They're within 4-3.

Leo Carlsson scores at 18:02. Weird deflection got by Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.

Jack Quinn scores again at 16:00. Sabres up 4-1.

Josh Doan briefly fights Ryan Strome. Crowd loves it.

Bowen Byram pinches into the slot and coverts Tage Thompson's pass 7:09 into the third period. Sabres up 3-0. 10th goal for Byram.

Sabres up 2-0 after two periods and have a 23-20 shot advantage.

Beck Malenstyn selling out and blocking some shots on the PK.

Rasmus Dahlin off for roughing. It turns out that song they play when there's a bad call/review is Kurt Angle's theme (no relation to @engelheather.bsky.social).

Half a season has convinced me receiving Josh Doan straight up for JJ Peterka would've been a great swap. The Sabres also got a 25-year-old right-shot D.

Peyton Krebs adroitly feeds Tage Thompson at the net to make it 2-0 at 7:22.

The consistent energy/noise in KeyBank Center is something. Hasn't been like this in a long time.

Mattias Samuelsson off for boarding at 4:29.

Tage Thompson taken down on the way to the net. Sabres going to have a 1:07 two-man advantage.

Sabres getting their first power play 1:07 into the second period.

Sabres up 1-0 after one period and outshooting the Ducks 13-7.

Zach Benson backhands it off the post after a juke and some nifty moves.

Zach Benson getting a penalty shot.

Jack Quinn ends his goal drought 2:03 into the game by converting a nifty pass from Ryan McLeod. Crowd roared.

Sabres beginning to warm up this rainy Saturday evening.

That’s Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in the starter’s net. Zac Jones is also here.

Sabres gettin’ ready for their morning skate. Michael Kesselring is out there.

#Sabres notes on the inevitable comparisons to the 2005-06 team as #Buffalo keeps winning, Mattias Samuelsson's offensive exploits, winning on the road and more: www.buffalohockeybeat.com/as-sabres-ke...

The #Sabres have sent Zac Jones back to Rochester.

Mattias Samuelsson is on pace for 14 goals and 45 points this season.

You might be watching Bowen Byram blossom into one of the NHL's high-end offensive defensemen. He's been dynamic in recent weeks. He totally created Alex Tuch's goal.

- Highmark closing - Josh Allen/Sean McDermott/Brandon Beane narratives surrounding the #Bills in the playoffs - #Jaguars talk with Ryan O'Halloran - @billhoppe.bsky.social gets to talk positively about the #Sabres for a change buffalopressbox.fireside.fm/104

What great work behind the net by Mattias Samuelsson to create Josh Doan’s goal. Samuelsson might hit the 40-point mark this season. Crazy.

“I hate that narrative so much. That shit's thrown out once you make the playoffs." The #Bills have no use for playoff narratives surrounding Josh Allen and Sean McDermott as the rev up preparation for the Jaguars. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/josh-...

The #Bills' top-ranked rushing offense meets its biggest test against the Jaguars' top-ranked rushing defense. But #Buffalo has averaged 148.5 yards rushing against top-16 run defenses this season. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/bills...

“In years past, instead of a 10-game heater ... we’d have a 10-game losing streak. And then after that, we’d turn it on.” Peyton Krebs has experienced a lot w/the #Buffalo #Sabres, but nothing like this. More on his belief, first-line duty and crazy hit: www.buffalohockeybeat.com/confident-pe...

Sabres stretchin’.

Sabres back at it this mild Wednesday morning. That’s Colten Ellis in the starter’s net.

"He understands the opportunity he’s been given and is trying to take advantage of every shift he gets." #Buffalo #Sabres notes on D Zach Metsa earning regular duty, a recall, when he might see Colten Ellis, Lindy Ruff's memories of Tyler Myers and more: www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-notes...

“All I said is, ‘We’ve been in this position a lot of times already, and we’re going to be in it a lot more times. Just play our game.’” More on the #Buffalo #Sabres showcasing a strong response after a loss and beating the Canucks before a noisy crowd: www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-respo...

Sabres win 5-3.

Josh Doan with a long empty-net goal at 18:36.

Zach Benson just hectored Linus Karlsson from behind and forced him to cough up the puck. Got a roar from the crowd.

OK, now Liam Ohgren makes it 4-3 at 14:55. Lindy Ruff's calling timeout.
