The Buffalo Sabres had a tremendous night led by an unexpected shutout performance by Colten Ellis, in his first start in over two months! Ellis was tracking the puck, making diving saves, and surviving some chaos… of course. Ellis’ game should give Sabres fans, players, and coaches some confidence if he had to play due to injury in the playoffs, now that Alex Lyon is not expected to be ready for the postseason. Josh Doan was also excellent on the night, with an incredible goal off a steal, and another showing off chemistry with Zach Benson and Josh Norris.
Plus, Logan Stanley plays his best game as a Sabre. He and Zach Metsa are more and more looking like the Sabres third pair for the playoffs. And whenever Noah Östlund returns, there’s going to be a tough call to make on who moves down the lineup between Östlund, Benson, and Peyton Krebs.
And the Sabres got help on the out of town scoreboard with the Canadiens beating the Lightning, with Jon Cooper’s players proving to be undisciplined AGAIN.

Ellis is going to be a very good goalie. Better than UPL actually. The puck sticks to him and he controls rebounds better than UPL already. Ellis has a way better glove than UPL. Ellis handles the puck way better than UPL. Prediction —> Elliis will unseat UPL as the number one.
Lighting is just a dirty team and playing dirty doesn’t even help them win games they need to win.
Let’s go Buffalo
Got to make sure the hair is good. Look good, feel good, play good.
44% odds we play Boston 1st round as of today!
Ellis has that type of personality and mental toughness a team can ride through the playoffs if he gets hot.
Scary to think how good they'd be with a half decent PP and league average face-off %
Would like to c Kesselring paired with all defense players and c how they look. Last 3 games Benson has been best alll around player for Sabres.
Seth appert needs to stay away from the PP. And probably the team after this year. Get him and that haircut out of here
2 wins and division is theirs. Let habs and Tampa play each other, hopefully 7 game series
Let's go Sarbes!
Ellis should play against the Blackhawks and save UPL for the Stars
I disagree with the Jackets not having the talent to beat the Sabres. They played hard, but they hit the brick wall in Ellis, who was otherworldly. Also, this Jackets team ended a nice win streak the Sabres were on a few months ago. If not for Colten, the Sabres could have easily lost this game. That said, we had Ellis, and he helped motivate the team to get their butts in gear in the third again. Now we have a good problem… who will be our number two behind UPL?? Let's Go Buffalo! ⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔
Where does Ostlund play?
