Someone on the main boards was saying lindy was throwing adams under the bus lately. Any truth to this?
I didn't see anything like that. It was just that Ruff didn't like our defense and that Jokiharju was sitting in the press box. But I wouldn't be surprised if Ruff kicks Adams out.

Power ended up with just 2:57 minutes of ice time in the opening frame, per The Buffalo News' Mike Harrington.

The 22-year-old rearguard wasn't the only player who rode the pine during the contest. Forward JJ Peterka saw just one shift in the second period.

"We turned the puck over too much," Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff said. "We got to the blue line, turned it over, turned it over, turned it over. That is why some guys lost ice time."

He added, "Taking one or two shifts (away) up to this point hasn't worked. Sitting the odd guy out hasn't worked. The puck management, we've talked about that since the start of the year."

Ruff conceded he thought both players "really responded well" to their extended time watching from the bench.

"I know that's a culture change," he said.

Hopefully the guys learn soon...
