Fantasy Analysis
Jason Pominville has been steady all season for the Sabres and finishes the season with a team-leading 73 points in 82 games. His 12 PIMs should earn him strong consideration for the Lady Byng trophy, but his fantasy owners would surely like a few more penalties to go with all of those points. (Updated 04/07/2012).
03/28/2012 12:36 Sabres righted ship just in time to power toward playoffs
Before the season, this is the Buffalo Sabres team everybody thought we would see. It took them about five months, but they are finally here. Boy, are they ever here.
03/27/2012 22:24 Sabres make a statement, overtake Caps as surge to postseason continues
You don't want to put too much emphasis on one game out of 82 when there are still five left. But Tuesday night's game between the Buffalo Sabres and Washington Capitals was as big as a regular-season game gets.
03/27/2012 21:38 Sabres overtake Capitals for eighth
Ryan Miller stopped 44 shots, Drew Stafford scored two goals and the surging Buffalo Sabres beat Washington 5-1 Tuesday to climb over the Capitals into the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
For the first time in four seasons, Pominville missed playing time due to injury, yet he was still on pace to finish right around the 25-goal, 35-assist mark that the Sabres have come to expect from Pominville. The big question mark is how he'll recover from a scary leg injury after taking a skate blade to his lower leg during Buffalo's playoff loss to Philadelphia last spring. All indications are that he'll be ready to go strong right out of the gate, but that injury bug that he did so well to avoid for four years seems finally caught up with him. The Sabres and fantasy owners would be ecstatic with a 60-point (25 G, 35 A) season from Pommer. (Updated 10/4/11)
