Top Notes
- With his goal tonight, Cody Hodgson has 10 points (4+6) in nine career games against the Lightning.
- Cory Conacher was credited with the Sabres’ third goal, which came on a delayed hooking penalty to Conacher when a Lightning pass was deflected down the ice and into the empty Tampa Bay net.
- According to Elias Sports Bureau, Conacher is the first player to score a goal on his own delayed penalty since Viktor Tikhonov (PHX) did so on 3/21/09 vs. Vancouver. He is the second player to score on a delayed penalty this season; the other was Boyd Gordon (EDM) on 1/12/14 at Chicago.
- Rasmus Ristolainen and Johan Larsson each tallied an assist tonight, and both now have points in consecutive games for the first time in their careers.
- Ristolainen logged 24:45 of ice time, topping his previous career high of 21:54. Only Christian Ehrhoff (26:06) had a higher TOI for either team.
