BUFFALO, N.Y. - Brian Gionta had two goals and an assist
in leading the Buffalo Sabres to a 4-1 win over the San
Jose Sharks in front of a sparse, snowstorm-depleted
crowd on Tuesday night.Nicolas Deslauriers and Brian
Flynn also scored for Buffalo, which won its eighth
straight against San Jose, dating to the 2009-10 season.
Jhonas Enroth stopped 20 shots over the final two periods
after replacing starter Michal Neuvirth who did not
return after sustaining a lower body injury in the first
period.Brent Burns scored for San Jose, which finished 3-
4 on a seven-game road swing.The Sabres improved to 16-1
all-time at home against the Sharks. Buffalo, coming off
a 6-2 victory over Toronto on Saturday, also won
consecutive games for the first time since a three-game
streak late last February.Too bad there werent many to
cheer on the Sabres.The game was played in front of an
estimated crowd of about 6,200, who turned up on a day a
severe lake effect snowstorm dumped more than 4 feet of
snow on communities south and east of Buffalo.The storm
even stranded Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta, who was
snowed in and unable to leave his home.The biggest cheer
went up with 4:44 remaining when San Joses Patrick
Marleau had a goal overturned on a video review. Marleau
got to the front of the net and backhanded a shot that
sneaked in behind Enroth and was rolling over the line
before Buffalos Matt Moulson swept it away.Initially
called a goal that would have cut Buffalos lead to 3-2,
the review showed Moulson got to the puck before it
crossed the line.Gionta got the fans on their feet by
breaking a 1-1 tie with 8:06 left, and 85 seconds after
Burns scored. Corralling a rolling puck in the lower
right circle on a pass from Flynn, Gionta slapped the
puck inside the far post.It was the team captains first
goal since signing with the Sabres in free agency last
summer.Gionta then set up Flynn on a 2-on-1 break to make
it 3-1 with 12 seconds left in the period, and sealed the
win with an empty-netter in the final minute.Sharks
rookie goalie Troy Grosenick stopped 10 shots and didnt
fare as well as he did in his NHL debut in a 2-0 win at
Carolina on Sunday. Thats when he stopped 45 shots to
become the leagues 22nd goalie to register a shutout in
his first game.Neuvirth stopped all 10 shots he faced in
the first period. He appeared to be hurt with 2:41 left.
He was doing the splits after stopping Justin Brauns
shot, when Sabres teammate Tyler Ennis crashed into the
goalie. Ennis knocked the puck across the crease, but the
goal was disallowed because the referee ruled Braun
interfered with Neuvirth.Enroth was sharp in coming in to
start the second period. His best save came when he wasnt
looking. Enroth had his back to the play after attempting
to stop Tommy Wingels wraparound attempt at the left
post. The puck dribbled to Jason Demers, who fired a shot
off the goalies back.Enroth had little chance on Burns
goal, a hard one-timer that found the top left corner.In
announcing the game would be played, the Sabres asked
fans to respect numerous driving bans that had been put
in place in numerous communities. Fans unable to attend
the game were provided the chance to exchange their
unused tickets for a future game.Postponing the game
would have been difficult because the Sharks were
travelling home to play Florida on Thursday night. San
Jose makes only one more trip east: a seven-game swing
from March 17-29.NOTES: Sabres D Nikita Zadorov played
his ninth game of the season. That leaves the Sabres
needing to decide whether to have Zadorovs rookie
contract kick in or return him to London of the Ontario
Hockey League. ... After opening with 16 of their first
21 on the road, the Sharks head to San Jose for a six-
game homestand. ... Sabres assistant GM Mark Jakubowski
and head athletic trainer Tim Macre were also snowed in
and unable to attend the game.
