8 Buffalo Sabres: Media Notes LAST GAME Saturday, October Buffalo at Chicago 6 Goals: Girgensons, Ennis Goalie: Enroth (4 saves/47 shots) PP: /4; PK: 3/4; Shots: Chicago 47 Buffalo 3 CURRENT INJURIES (Man Games Lost: 9) Player (injury, first game missed) total games missed Matt Hackett (lower body, Oct. 9; injured reserve) games Patrick Kaleta (upper body, Oct. 9; injured reserve) games Jake McCabe (middle body, Oct. 9; injured reserve) games Mark Pysyk (upper body, Oct. 9; injured reserve) games TRANSACTIONS IN PAST 7 DAYS /: Assigned F Johan Larsson to Rochester (AHL) UPCOMING GAMES Tuesday, Oct. 4: Buffalo at Carolina, 7:3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7: Florida at Buffalo, 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8: Boston at Buffalo, 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. : Buffalo at Anaheim, :3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 3: Buffalo at Los Angeles, :3 p.m. TONIGHT S GAME DUCKS at SABRES This is the first of two meetings between the Sabres and Ducks this season. Next meeting: Wednesday, Oct. in Anaheim The Sabres are 4-6- in their last games vs. the Ducks; 5-3- at home This is the 9 th game all-time between Buffalo and Anaheim; Buffalo has a 5--3 series record. The Sabres are at home against the Ducks all-time. THIS DAY IN SABRES HISTORY The Sabres are -9- all-time on October 3. October 3, 976: Bob Sauve makes his first NHL start, a 4-3 loss to the NY Islanders. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW With his two-assist performance on Saturday at CHI, Drew Stafford became the 6 th player in franchise history to record 3 points as a member of the Sabres. Stafford now has 3 points (+) in 3 games in 4. Zemgus Girgensons has opened the season with goals in consecutive games, matching his career-best goal-scoring streak of two games, set on Dec. 7 and, 3. If he is in today s lineup, Matt Moulson will become the 67 th active NHL player to appear in 4 NHL games. Chris Stewart leads all Sabres with points (5+7) in 8 career games against the Ducks. The Sabres are looking to avoid losing consecutive home games to the Ducks for the first time ever after dropping their meeting on Nov., 3. The Sabres have won five of the last seven home contests against the Ducks (includes /7/ game in Helsinki, Finland).

9 SHUTTING OUT THE DUCKS The Sabres have shut out the Ducks six times in the 8 all-time games between the clubs (Hasek-3, Biron-, Miller-). This amounts to one shutout for every 4.7 meetings, the Sabres highest shutout-to-games ratio against any NHL team. This ratio is so much higher against the Ducks than the next closest opponent that the Ducks would have to score a goal in each of the next 3 meetings between the teams to bring it even with the next highest current ratio (NSH, 8.5 games per shutout). The Sabres last shutout against the Ducks occurred three meetings ago on Feb. 9, in Anaheim. EXPANDED ROLE FOR MYERS Tyler Myers has led all Sabres skaters in ice time through two games and ranks th in the league before Sunday s games with an average of 5:5 per game. His 6:9 on Saturday at CHI was his highest total in a non-overtime game since his career-high 3:5 on Jan. 4, at NYI. Myers last led the Sabres in ice time in a season in his rookie season of 9-, when he averaged 3:44 per game. ENNIS ON THE PK Tyler Ennis scored his first career shorthanded goal Saturday at CHI. His 4:38 of shorthanded ice time through two games has already surpassed his previous career-high of 3: in 8 games in -. BACK-TO-BACK Tonight s game opens Buffalo s first of 8 sets of back-to-back games this season, which will conclude tomorrow at CAR. The Sabres were 4-9- in the first game of back-to-back sets and -8-4 in the second game last season. Buffalo s point breakdown in back-to- back sets last season was: four points (), three points (), two points (4), one point (3) and zero points (5). A NEW LOOK Only of the Sabres players who dressed for the first game of the 3-4 season appeared on the team s 4-5 opening day roster. Only six players on this year s opening day roster suited up for the team in the season-opener two years ago: Tyler Ennis, Jhonas Enroth, Marcus Foligno, Cody Hodgson, Tyler Myers and Drew Stafford A FRESH FACE With his debut on Thursday vs. CBJ, Sam Reinhart became the seventh 8-year-old ever to dress for the Sabres and the fourth to do so on opening day. The Sabres have now had an 8-year-old in the opening day lineup each of the last three years ( Rasmus Ristolainen; -3: Mikhail Grigorenko).
