Carter Verhaeghe - Lights lamp in lossVerhaeghe scored his 31st goal of the season in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Sabres.
ImpactHe spoiled Craig Anderson's shutout bid in the third period by taking a pass from Anthony Duclair off his skate before going top shelf, but it was all the offense Florida could manage on the night. Verhaeghe continues to surge. Over the last 12 games, the 27-year-old has eight goals and 14 points, leaving him just two points shy of tying the career-high 55 he racked up in 2021-22.

Vinnie Hinostroza - Joins big clubHinostroza was recalled from AHL Rochester on Saturday, per CapFriendly.
ImpactHinostroza takes the place of Alex Tuch (undisclosed), who was placed on injured reserve Saturday. It's not a like-for-like change, but Hinostroza has managed eight assists through 19 NHL contests this season. He'll likely compete for bottom-six minutes initially, though the right wing spot alongside Tage Thompson and Jeff Skinner should be up for grabs throughout Tuch's absence.

Craig Anderson - Stands on head for winAnderson made 53 saves in Friday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
ImpactThe Sabres were out-shot 54-35 on a night that really should have seen a much higher score were it not for the efforts of the two guys in the crease. Anderson took a shutout into the third period before Carter Verhaeghe finally got a puck past him, but the 41-year-old netminder still picked up his first win since Jan. 23 while tying his career high in saves -- a mark he established back in 2008 when he was a member of the Panthers. The 53 saves also set a new Sabres franchise record for stops in a win and is the third-highest single-game total in club history, while Anderson became the first goalie in his 40s in NHL history to rack up 50 or more saves in a night.

Tage Thompson - Three helpers against FloridaThompson collected three assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
ImpactThe Sabres' top line of Thompson, Jeff Skinner and Alex Tuch accounted for all the team's offense on the night, with Thompson posting his second straight three-point effort after he recorded a hat trick against the Lightning on Thursday. The 25-year-old has emerged as a superstar this season and sits one tally shy of his first career 40-goal campaign and two points short of 80 through 57 games, tying Thompson for fifth in scoring in the league with Matthew Tkachuk behind Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Nikita Kucherov and David Pastrnak.
