Game Results

Sabres Goalie Ryan Miller

• The Sabres cruised past the Panthers – but Ryan Miller still had to make 41 saves to get the win. Meanwhile a developing controversy in Florida took another turn as Scott Clemmenson didn’t last long in net:

“Scott Clemmensen, who helped Florida snap a four-game skid with a win over Philadelphia last Friday, made his second straight start in goal for Florida, but didn’t last long this time. He was replaced by Tomas Vokoun after giving up two goals on three shots in less than two minutes. Vokoun finished with 30 saves.”

• Leclaire comes through for Sens
• Halak comes through for Canadiens
• Blue Jackets goaltender Steve Mason stopped only 16 of 22 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Flames. | Story
