The Sabres ended the month of March in 7th place with a very strong month. Problem was, the teams that they were battling with for a playoff spot were equal to the task. It set up a very interesting, short month of April to determine who would be in the post season and who would not.
A 4-0-1 record for the month of April put Buffalo in the 7th-spot as they head to the playoffs and the players that Ruff needed to step up, came through--Thomas Vanek, Jason Pomminville, Drew Stafford with a little help from Paul Gaustad, Nate Gerbe and Brad Boyes as well as Jhonas Enroth.
