Trending: This was only Jamie McBain's (1A, +2, 3:40 PP, 1 SOG) second start of the season and first time in the scoring summary. This was his fifth career game against the Sabres already and he's a point-per-game threat against them.

Eric Staal (-3) had a short-handed breakaway with around eight minutes left in the third and Miller stoned him. Jeff Skinner (1G, -1, 2 PIM, 3 SOG) has points in four of five and he already had five points coming in here, before potting a key one with just over a minute left in the third. Jussi Jokinen (1A, -1, 2 SOG) has points in three of his past four and Joni Pitkanen (1A, -2, 2 SOG) does as well.
