Regier’s goal: improve Sabres from within [6:28 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: '“It doesn’t feel any different than other years,” Regier said. “The names are out there. There’s not as many names this year. Because of the (salary) cap … I don’t think there’s going to be enough sellers. In most cases, they’re not going to want to give up players off their roster with the chance of making the playoffs.”'

Buffalo News reports: '"To be 2-2 and lose at least a point is disappointing, especially against a team like that in our division," Sabres center Tim Connolly said. "It's in our arena and there's a few minutes left, we've got to buckle down and at worst go to overtime and go from there."'

Heady stuff? Sabres bow to Sen masters [3:27 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'They still lost, though, and they didn't get a point. When you're leading the division, there are no moral victories. The Sabres are a target now, and can't make dumb mistakes in their own end late in a tie game.'

Wins are habit-forming for Senators [3:26 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Eventually — as they have every meeting the last 13 months — the Senators found a way to confound Buffalo again. "I don't know what it is. Sometimes that just happens," said captain Daniel Alfredsson, whose two goals in the final minute provided the winning margin. "We've been struggling against Boston and New Jersey. That's the way it goes. I don't know if it's a mental thing or systems teams play or what. Buffalo played a really good game today. I don't think we were ready for the pressure they put in the first period. We were really on our heels."'
