03/02/2012 01:08 Sabres' Miller earns successive shutouts
Ryan Miller made 39 saves for his second shutout in as many nights, and Drew Stafford capitalized on a San Jose turnover to score the only goal in the Buffalo Sabres' 1-0 victory over the Sharks on Thursday.
Kaleta is not a "goon" so much as he's the Sabres' new version of Matthew Barnaby. Kaleta, who was born and raised in the suburbs of Buffalo, is a fan favorite, but his fierce style of play is a gigantic reason for all of the injuries Kaleta endures. He hasn't played in more than 55 games for Buffalo in any of the last three seasons, and without much discernible offensive talent, his physicality is the only thing keeping him in the NHL, so expect the injuries to pile up again for Kaleta as he recklessly throws his body around the ice. He is a decent source of penalty minutes and hits when he is healthy, however, finishing third with 126 of the latter category. (Updated 10/4/11)
