SUNRISE, Fla. - In the aftermath of a loss in Boston on Thursday, Sabres coach Ralph Krueger focused on the need to move forward. The result was painful, he said, but the effort and structure with which they played would bring them victories more often than not.
The Sabres stayed positive through a spirited practice on Saturday, then followed through with another strong outing on Sunday. This time it brought them the result they wanted, a 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers at BB&T Center.
Jack Eichel contributed a goal and two assists for his fifth three-point outing of the season, already matching his career high. Zemgus Girgensons added a pair of goals, while Jeff Skinner and Victor Olofsson also found the back of the net.
