| sabres d-man chris butler |
since february 23, the first game after terry pegula took over the franchise, chris butler has mostly been paired with tyler myers when in the line-up logging under 18:35 seconds once (16:04 vs. philly)...
the sabres went 6-1-2 during that stretch...
with butler out of the line-up?...0-2...
cut it anyway you want it, dissect it all you want...the fact is, with butler and myers paired together, the buffalo sabres have corraled 14 out of a possible 18 points, and before their 1-0 loss to carolina (butler did not play,) the sabes had gone from 9th place, eight points behind the rangers to jumping the same team into 7th...
individually, buts has zero goals, one assist and was a plus-3 in those nine games...
tyler myers, who many believe has ditched the "sophomore slump" from earlier in the season (myself included,) has two goals, three assists and was a plus-three during that stretch...
nothing earth-shattering offensively, but with those two together, you have the making of a solid defensive pairing for the sabres as they battle to get into the playoffs...
