After being shut out by the New York Islanders four days ago, Ryan Miller and the Buffalo Sabres returned the favor. Miller made 24 saves for his second shutout of the season and 14th overall, and Thomas Vanek had a goal and assist in Buffalo's 3-0 victory Wednesday night. Derek Roy and Paul Gaustad also scored to help the Sabres (9-2-1) rebound from a 5-0 loss to the Islanders on Saturday on Long Island. "We played a real sound game coming off that loss," Miler said.

Complete Box Score

PLAYER NEWS

Islanders Dwayne Roloson (NYI - G) News: Dwayne Roloson rejected 58-of-61 shots in tonight's 4-3 OT win at Toronto.  [+] Impact: The 40-year-old vet earned a win in two of his last three starts, and improved his record to 7-2-5 for the season. He is doing a good job while the Islanders wait for Rick DiPietro to return. (Fanball - Mon. Nov 23, 2009) Bruno Gervais (NYI - D) News: Bruno Gervais chipped in a pair of assists in Monday's 4-3 OT win at Toronto.  [+] Impact: Gervais is yet to score a goal, but contributed six assists over 20 games. He scored multiple points for the first time this season, but the 25-year-old blueliner does not yet garner fantasy attention. (Fanball - Mon. Nov 23, 2009) Blake Comeau (NYI) News: Comeau was once again in the press box Monday and watched his team steal a 4-3 overtime win in Toronto. [+] Impact: There is talent here, but without ice time he should not be rostered in most fantasy formats. (RotoWire - Mon. Nov 23, 2009)

Sabres Derek Roy (BUF - Center) News: It looks like Roy will be on the top line again, The Buffalo News reports. [+] Impact: Roy's season -- 16 points in 20 games -- has been a bit of a disappointment, but he's starting to score with some regularity and centering Thomas Vanek is the best place to be on this team. It looks like the productive Jason Pominville will be the right wing on that top line. (RotoWire - Mon. Nov 23, 2009) Mike Grier (BUF - Right Wing) News: Grier (groin) was trading spots with Adam Mair on the third line in practice on Monday, The Buffalo News reports. [+] Impact: This is a promising development for Grier who has been limited in practice over the past week. Consider him questionable for Wednesday's game in Washington. (RotoWire - Mon. Nov 23, 2009) Patrick Kaleta (BUF) News: Kaleta was not on the ice for practice on Monday, The Buffalo News reports. [+] Impact: There is still no information why Kaleta was absent from practice, but there is speculation that Coach Lindy Ruff may be mixing up his lines after three consecutive losses in the past week. Nathan Paetsch replaced Kaleta on the fourth line in practice. (RotoWire - Mon. Nov 23, 2009)
