\u201cYou could tell that shift Tuchy had his legs and he was feeling it,\u201d Krebs said. \u201c\u2026 Kind of had a feeling that he was going to throw it in there, and had to be in the right spot at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t get flustered,\u201d added Josh Norris. \u201cIt\u2019s been like that the whole year. Something happens, who cares? Move on. Stuff\u2019s gonna happen. \u2026 It\u2019s how quickly you can respond and get back to your game.\u201d<\/p>\n
The own goal wasn\u2019t the first adversity the Sabres faced in the game. Late in the second, Lee crunched Norris into the boards from behind; the Buffalo forward was slow to get up and required stitches in his face. No penalty was called.<\/p>\n
As has become the standard, Buffalo retaliated. Sam Carrick fought Lee to open the third but sustained a left-arm injury while falling to the ice. The Sabres\u2019 trade deadline pickup and fourth-line staple didn\u2019t return and is still being evaluated.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel terrible for Ricky,\u201d Norris said. \u201cHe didn\u2019t have to do that; that\u2019s just the type of guy he is, the type of teammate. I really appreciate that from him and just feel for the guy. Hopefully it\u2019s not too bad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Echoed coach Lindy Ruff: \u201cI don\u2019t think I can say enough about him stepping in. \u2026 I just hate to lose him. But I think the team rallied behind that a little bit, seeing him go off, and it was great to get the win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruff should have an update on Carrick within the next couple days. For now, here\u2019s more from win No. 46.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cYou could tell that shift Tuchy had his legs and he was feeling it,\u201d Krebs said. \u201c\u2026 Kind…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":534121,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5110],"tags":[5,122,3328,159,5190,5189,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-534120","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-islanders","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-islanders","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-islanders","12":"tag-newyork","13":"tag-newyorkislanders","14":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116327732421313460","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=534120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534120\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/534121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=534120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=534120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=534120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
