......" Despite the loss, the Sabres earned five of a possible six points on the road, lightening the mood in a dressing room that was full of thunderclouds and rainstorms a week ago.
"We're playing a lot better hockey here, getting some points," right wing Thomas Vanek said. "We really would have liked two."
Vanek almost got the extra one. He slipped around Rangers defenseman Steve Eminger on a two-on-one in overtime but elected to feed Derek Roy at the side of the crease rather than test goalie Martin Biron. Roy couldn't connect, and the Rangers turned the other way.
Defenseman Jordan Leopold blocked Dan Girardi's shot, and the carom dropped right at Anisimov's feet for a winning one-timer.
"I could have shot it probably," Vanek said, "but I saw Roysie was wide-open, figured if I could slide it over we've got an empty net, game's over, but maybe I've just got to be more selfish and be more of a goal scorer."
There'd have been more goal scorers if it weren't for Enroth and Biron. They were the game's brightest stars, with saves ranging from quality to highlight-reel at both ends."..........
