After a bounce-back victory in Toronto that washed away the funk of two tough games versus Philly, the Sabres were unable to keep the good times rolling in a 3-2 OT loss in Carolina. Lots of good to take away despite the mixed results of late. Alex Tuch, for example. He's back and the Sabres are clearly better for it.... JJ Peterka alongside Casey Mittelstadt seems to be a thing... Matthew Savoie is ready for his NHL debut, but is Jiri Kulich, who is tearing up the AHL at the moment, not too far behind? And oh yes, rookie defenseman Ryan Johnson moved up next to Rasmus Dahlin for the game against the Canes and was quite impressive... That and heck of a lot more.
