 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Heading toward the playoffs, Daniel Briere and the Buffalo Sabres want to address a few deficiencies: fix their sputtering power play and regain their edge at home. Check and check.
Briere and Derek Roy scored power-play goals, helping the Sabres end a three-game home skid with an easy 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday.
"This is definitely what we wanted to clean up," Briere said. "Sometimes it's a good thing to hit the rough patch before you hit the playoffs. And hopefully we're out of it now and we can look forward and come into the playoffs on a roll."
