The Sabres took down the Capitals 6-2 in Jeff Skinner’s 1,000th game, but we’ve got something else to discuss.
Jeff Skinner and 1,000 games played
He’s only 31 while hitting this career milestone and he’s carved out a fascinating legacy.

After a 2-0 first period deficit threatened to make Friday night look like Wednesday night, the Buffalo Sabres found the missing gear in a 5-2 win over New Jersey.
Game 73: Absolutely brutal
In a game in a situation where the Buffalo Sabres essentially had to win out to keep any semblance of hope for the playoffs alive, Ottawa got out to a 5-0 lead and never looked back in a 6-2 win.

Playoffs or not, the Buffalo Sabres getting one of their best players back is a big deal.
