Only other longer single-season no-repeat goalie streaks in #Sabres history occurred in: 1983-84 (69 in gms 1-69, w/Tom Barrasso & Bob Sauve) 1980-81 (44 in gms 1-44, w/Don Edwards & Sauve) 1979-80 (30 in gms 9-38, w/Edwards & Sauve) #NHL 2/2

In #Sabres 4-3 W over #Islanders, BUF recorded its 2,000th reg season win and reached the 100-pt season milestone for the 10th time; Uko-Pekka Luukkonen made a 2nd straight start, snapping a 20-gm streak in which BUF started different goalies, the 4th longest in team history 1/2

#Yankees prospect Carlos Lagrange works 4 innings in his season debut for #RailRiders at #Bisons, allowing 4 H and 1 R with 3 Ks (67 pitches/38 strikes) SWB leads BUF 3-1, mid-5 #MiLB #BlueJays #MLB

#Bisons Chad Dallas, in his first appearance since 2014 (Tommy John surgery), works 3 innings in his season debut vs #RailRiders and allows 1 run on 3 hits with 5 strikeouts. 58 pitches/38 strikes #MiLB #BlueJays #Yankees #MLB

Not-so-happy anniversary for #Sabres: they allowed 3 first-period goals to #DetRedWings en route to a 5-2 loss; it was BUF's first time allowing 3 goals in the opening period of a home game since 3/27/24 vs. Ott (5 allowed, tying the team's 1st period record, in 6-2 loss) #NHL

#TBRays score 6 in T-6 then allow 8 to #StLCards in B-6; it's the first time an #MLBOpeningDay game featured 6+ runs by both teams in one inning; twice before had teams each scored 5+ in one inning: 4/18/1929, NYG (6) at Phillies (5) in 9th, & 4/1/21, Tex (5) at KC (5) in 1st

For further context, digging back to when NYC had 3 tms. this is just 2nd time 2 NYC-based teams had 5+ run innings in #MLBOpeningDay gms; on 4/13/1955, Brooklyn Dodgers had 5-run 7th inning vs Pit (in 6-1 W) & Yankees had 5-run 4th inning vs Wash Senators (in 19-1 W)

#Yankees scored 5 runs in 2nd inning at SF in their opener last night, and #Mets tallied 5 in 1st inning today vs PIT today; it's first time both Mets & Yanks have posted 5-run innings on #MLBOpeningDay in the same year

My new book “Blue Jays in Buffalo” is now available. It chronicles the #BlueJays time at Sahlen Field and features exclusive interviews with Vladdy, Bo, Danny Jansen, WNY native Jonah Heim, and much more: Amazon 🇺🇸: tinyurl.com/4f7wtet5 Amazon 🇨🇦: tinyurl.com/363ene5m

This is 1st time #Sabres had b2b road ShOs by different goalies (Luukkonen/Lyon); other 4 streaks: Dominik Hasek (11/29/93 at Tor, 12/1/93 at TB), Hasek (3/1/98 at Was, 3/2/98 at NYR), Ryan Miller (2/29/12 at Ana, 3/1/12 at SJ), & Robin Lehner (1/23/18 at Edm , 1/25/18 at Van)

#Sabres last posted b-2-b road ShOs on 1/23/18 at Edm (5-0) & 1/25/18 at Van (4-0); their only other b-2-b road ShOs in the Pacific time zone occurred 2/29/12 at Ana (2-0) & 3/1/12 at SJ (1-0) #NHL (2/2)

It's a historic night in Buffalo sports: the city witnessed their first two (!) 100-pt outputs in their 46-game #MarchMadness history, thanks to Michigan & Saint Louis, and the #Sabres posted a 2nd straight road ShO for their 5th time ever (1/2)

#Sabres, w/6-3 W vs #Sharks, recorded their 8th straight victory; this is first time in team history w/multiple W streaks of 8+ gms (also had 10-game W streak from 12/9 to 12/31). In #NHL, Colorado has multiple 10-gm W streaks this season (11/4-11/26 and 12/11-1/3)

#Sabres earned multiple fighting majors for 2nd gm in row (5 vs TB on Sun & 2 tonight vs SJ), their first streak of multi-fight gms since 2/9/16 vs Fla (3, all featuring Evander Kane-Alex Petrovic) and 2/11/16 at Phi (2, Marcus Foligno-Radko Gudas & Jake McCabe-Gudas) #NHL 3/3

#Sabres have 14 goals in 2-game span for first time since scoring 15 on 12/4 & 12/7, 2022 (6-3 vs SJ and 9-4 at CBJ) #NHL 2/3

#Sabres 6-3 win vs #Sharks tonight, along with 8-7 win over #Lightning on Sunday, gives BUF b-2-b gms with 6+ goals for first time since 12/23 & 12/27, 2024 (7-1 at NYI, 6-2 vs CHI) #NHL 1/3

After midnight in Buffalo, so it's 9 days until #MarchMadness hits town. @KeyBankCtr looks to be getting ready for it - baskets have arrived

@JimmyBozz @BillHoppeNHL LOL - 12 total (1 apiece in 12 different games), now 17 for the season

@mikehaim @BillHoppeNHL Do you know how many they had for the season….going into this game.

#Sabres had 5 fighting majors in 8-7 win vs #Lightning, their most since incurring 5 in 4-3 OT win at Atl Thrashers, 3/17/04; in that game, BUF pugilists were Andrew Peters, Eric Boulton, Adam Mair, Brad Brown, & Jeff Jillson #NHL

@PatMurray27 Still the mark. 14-4 vs TOR, 3/19/81: hockey-reference.com/boxscores/1981…

@mikehaim Is the franchise record for combined goals still 18? A 14-4 win over the Leafs.

#Sabres defeat #Lightning 8-7, the 10th time BUF won a reg season game with 15+ combined goals, first since 2/24/93, a 10-7 win vs Det when Alexander Mogilny scored 4 goals to reach 60-goal season milestone: hockey-reference.com/boxscores/1993…

H/T to @PatWGR for mentioning this one on air; last #NHL game w/15 combined goals and 100+ penalty minutes (as BUF did in 8-7 win over TB tonight with 102 combined PIM) was when PIT beat PHI 10-7 in a playoff game on 4/25/89 with 130 combined PIM: hockey-reference.com/boxscores/1989…
