NHL Highlights | Sabres vs. Ducks – January 23, 2024

Two two ducks assistant coaches that have players on the saber so really fun for Tage Thompson such an incredible year that he had last year and some injuries have limited his games but he seems to be back could use a couple goals to get him back fired up this year

Ryan Johnson’s dad also coaches with the Ducks Craig Johnson well also what I mean how great they The Scouting must have been pretty easy cuz they watch their boys as much as possible so they must know the Sabers as well as they know their own team right they watch a

Lot of saber games to watch their boys on off nights and so they might have picked up a few things that could help prame scouting but now he’s back hold again looking to get one tonight four goals his first seven games no goals his last seven this is game number 15 for

Him Gran shot saved by LC in gets it out of there couldn’t quite glove it there’s Benson now over to Yi hard there’s a hard check in the corner shot out the shoulder of Luca in Sam Carrick was providing a screen in front here’s Fowler

Blasted and a man in front grew and went wide back comes Casey midd leading the Sabers in scoring but he is stripped in the neutral zone and Here Come the Ducks the other way Mavish across and that Fowler looking McTavish wanted it didn’t get it one timer goodess let go jaob

Silverberg between the hash mark the high slot tip and silverberg gets just his third goal of the year to give the Ducks a one- nothing lead a lot of turnovers and this is how they create this opportunity and it’s interesting when you look at how trying to own up to

What their coach is demanding of them look for the better shot not just numbers shift number two for Olen zelle wagger the youngsters out there now for the Ducks playing with leushin the former saber here’s Johnson to the next save by Gibson Tak a look at some of

Those numbers powered by the sap coaching insights app which we do on every ESPN Plus game here turnover in front oh what a save by Gibson on middle stat early in the game and they put the pressure on here a little B of A fumbled Puck on the Zone

Entry by middlest but then he stick stays with it good job by middlest to force that turnover from lushin behind the net can’t do much with it but you got to you got to give John Gibson some credit for yeah there were some some in the duck campers saying he’s a better

Skater than Jamie I think the jury’s out on that Dale is such a great one here comes Genson another great save by Gibson you know interesting Don Granado this morning with the press and again he reiterated with us pass in front save Lucan in cleared out there nicely by Dal

Who calmly gets it out tough a tough break there with a funny bounce that wasn’t a giveaway that was just a bounce off the side of the net that got out of their control tuck continues the bounce tuck gets it out to finish that thought quickly he was talking about Pace that’s

His his big Focus right now is playing with pace and that’s just not about going out and skating like a like a crazy person right it’s the way you play the way you think the game it’s the way you pass the puck and he really wants

More from his team but Tonto back in save another quick shot also saved team with 21 goals is third 20 or more goal season and he does a good job of Leaning here’s Tage Thompson now curling to the middle Thompson Thompson in front rebound save Gibson rebound goes wide

Still no stick for Gibson here’s Thompson rips it across but again off the Stick of the Ducks but kept in by Dalene calmly to Thompson rips it again off the crossbar and into the nety you mentioned it earlier um off camera that he needs a couple goals right I just to

Get his confidence back like you said last year some of these are going in but see what they can do here in the second that was tonight’s game Flow brought you by Progressive since that duck goal the Sab did out shoot Anaheim 9 to5 Runs Out Here Comes Carlson look at him

Moving oh he smoo between the legs pulled down I do think he tried to finish that between his legs but what a move he’s so slick the way he goes he really he’s coed as he tries to oh man he really did try to do it gets tripped up good power play

Opportunity but for Leo Carlson he makes the defenseman go one way and then he takes it the other rightel wagger number 51 first NHL game sweet pass by Terry oh looking for the redirection goal in front in between the hash marks now zel wagger again quick R shot CH in front car

In first NHL point for ol zwagger as Sam Carrick gets his seventh of the year what a Nifty Nifty goal batting that out of midair got the call yesterday that he was getting called up and good look by him good movement good confident play and then there’s be

Interesting to see if they take a look at this this time in the second period Carlson draws the penalty as he had free reign through the neutral zone Clifton falls down watch out chance for the Ducks McTavish looking to cross score yakob silverberg his second of the night 3 nothing Anaheim but you can see it’s that we talked about turnovers this is a tough one too when you look at it Conor Clifton just takes a toe pick right there in the neutral zone and right away you can hear the crowd grow you know sort of making making it known and what

A beautiful pass there too as he come in Mavish is a player that the ducks have this year not going well shot HRI sa by Lucan in Puck is bouncing around Henri still on the ice Carlson battling along the wall lome one timer broke the Stick of Greenway six plus minutes without a

Shot for the Savers Here Comes mavic eight straight shots on goal by the Ducks turnover shot Sav by Lucan Sabers exit the Zone just on side Thea in front cousin shot bouncing wide that was a golden opportunity for Dylan cousins just can’t cash in AJ and get that first

Goal they had some looks though it wasn’t a very Anaheim heavy period but New Year’s Day baby turn 25 on January the 1st good for hockey bad for taxes shot attempts are equal 3939 but shots on goal are 2715 interesting route to the net he just doesn’t drive the net blindly he

Gets there and he makes a little bit of space for himself big save on Krebs there to cage has been throwing his body around ducks have gone 10 and a half minutes without a shot on goal so they retreated but here they go there’s one

Save by Lucan face off one by the Ducks Lucan stays in the net we’ll see if Donnie Granado is thinking about pulling him in front shot skin a rebound Lucan to the bench extra attacker on shot wide Skinner so here it is six on four power play for the Sabers down by three

Thompson whips Greenway battles they need two on the puck good play by Thompson to keep that puck in darene cousins back back to Dalene here’s cousins Dalene Rich a score power play goal Jordan Greenway redirects the Dalene wrist shot and the Savers are back in it with 519 to go you

Know what this is a good play you can see that they’ve got some urgency they’ve got the six player out there they’ve got numbers they also know that they’ve got to keep possession if the Ducks they they can ice it without repercussion here so they can go for the

Empty net and you can see the excitement the energy and we haven’t seen that emotion from the Sabers out here Don gado actually talked about this morning and said he’s just the perfect age to be a leader big strong knows his role Here Comes Henrik dancing sangon big save by

Lucan extra attacker on its middle stack Ducks need possession the that is empty Skinner wrap around save another save by Gibson FL shot early on but the pressure this moment Skinner back in the lineup which is huge for uh for buffalo Bo comes around Dion just gets there but

Skinner making his best bit I thought that wrap around was in I did too and he goes for the second here too what a good look there two Greenway Thompson will get there plays it to his for a Nifty pass in the Z score kyoso makes it a one goal game

What a dive from Thompson to the tape of aoso in between the circles and he finishes and he goes for the release and what that is that’s the backhand pass all along the wall to the weak side and that gets the transition the defense gets a little bit turned around and then

Where do screen way go front of the net screens right there beautiful pass from Thompson to ooso Great finish losing energy fast and now Dalene will change Owen Powers a fresh set of legs they can’t even pressure the puck carrier and that’s an easy empty that goal and a victory Adam

Henri hit the middle bar in the back of the net for his 15th goal of the year and the Savers Miracle comeback will fall short go up two yeah Adam Henrik was his third goal in the last two games and you know the ducks early on I didn’t like

The fact that they weren’t able to clear the Zone they’ve had a couple chances it looked like the Savers were going to kind of press under 10 to go now the Ducks are going to get it done they’ve been playing a little better this year a little better in January as lome goes

Skates overheads as at the Buzzer

Jakob Silfverberg scored twice and Olen Zellweger earned a point in his first career NHL game as the Anaheim Ducks topped the Buffalo Sabres 4-2.
