On Saturday, the Sabres recorded back-to-back wins with a 2-0 shutout of the New York Islanders, which marks the first time they have won consecutive games since February 26th. Eric Comrie, shown here being congratulated by his teammates, made 26 saves in posting the shutout. The game remained goalless until 6:29 remained in the 3rd period, when Kyle Okposo found the net for what proved to be the game-winner. Photo by the Buffalo Sabres
