He was still kind of finding his way, but I knew he had that in him with the skillset and coordination. I remember watching some of the clips of him in the AHL when he first came down to Rochester. He can score on the rush, beat you one-on-one, and tight to the net. In addition to a run of good health, he needs to find a little more comfortability and success on home ice, where he is currently a .883 despite winning five of his seven starts at the SBA. In the playoffs, you need those guys who go to the dirty areas and get under guys’ skin. You see all these guys scoring goals and you want to join in on it, but at the same time, for me, it might not happen every night. Anderson has been on the bench for most of the Sabres’ ugly performances as of late and has kept his numbers quite solid on the season. That’s a big part of the playoffs: just playing hard and getting guys on the other team to take penalties. It’s even strength where they’ve struggled more as of late; with a 6-6-1 record in the last month, the Sabres have given up more goals at evens (40) than any other team and have only managed to earn 44.5% of the xG in that timeframe. On the season, he is 12-6-2 with a .905 Sv% while sporting the best high-danger save percentage of his career at .858%. Perhaps the least experienced top-six trio in the league, rookies JJ Peterka and Jack Quinn take a back seat to the most experienced player on the line, third-year center Dylan Cozens. Zach Aston-Reese was the odd man out before O’Reilly’s broken finger, but his trio with David Kampf and Noel Acciari has been a go-to for Keefe the last couple of games.

With his team attempting to end that long drought, Buffalo general manager Kevyn Adams opted not to bring in veteran rental players prior to the NHL Trade Deadline on March 3. "There was no emotion. No wasted extra energy anywhere."

Jarnkrok then doubled the advantage just over three minutes later when he fired five-hole for his 15th. “We’re up 2-0 with 10 minutes left in the second period — on home ice,” Keefe said. A sound issue at Scotiabank Arena meant there was no audio for the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” prior to puck drop, but fans stepped in a cappella-style and belted out the U.S. “We’re trying to sell that other side to them and believe in that confidence.” Owen Power and JJ Peterka added two assists each. “You’ve got to play very smart, manage the game.” “Maybe it’s not the same level of urgency,” Keefe said.
