26CornerBlitz Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 NHL on NBCSN: Capitals, Sabres Look to Rebound Following Defeats NBCSN’s coverage of the 2018-19 NHL season continues with Friday night’s matchup between the Buffalo Sabres and the Washington Capitals with coverage beginning at 6 p.m. ET. You can watch the game online and on the NBC Sports app by clicking here. The Sabres and Capitals meet for the second time in less than a week with both teams coming off home defeats. Washington had their five-game winning streak snapped by a 2-1 Pittsburgh Penguins win on Wednesday night and look to head into the Christmas break on a winning note. Both teams blew leads in their defeats this week with the Capitals watching a 1-0 lead get erased by two Penguins goals. The Sabres lead the Florida Panthers 2-1 after 40 minutes and fell 5-2. Buffalo had been 9-0-2 when leading after two periods this season. “It just seems like we lost momentum. It’s frustrating,” said Sabres captain Jack Eichel. “We’re at home. We’ve got to find a way to have a better third period than that. … Maybe our puck management wasn’t there. I don’t think the desperation was there; they were definitely desperate. They played hard in their own end, but I don’t think we outworked them.” The loss was the continuation of some struggles for the Sabres, who are now 3-4-3 since reeling off 10 straight wins earlier this season.

BillsFan4 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Man, Sutton (I mean Hutton) needs to get his *** back to Tre White’s goalie academy after that terrible turnover. He can’t do that, especially in such a hard fought (tie) game with 7 mins to go. Edited December 22, 2018 by BillsFan4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
