Jack Eichel shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. A day removed from the shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday still saw the Buffalo Sabres a bit baffled and disappointed.
But for the most part, they skated it out Sunday morning, having their last practice and organized team activity before taking a five-day holiday break.
They scrimmaged for about 45 minutes at HarborCenter, getting in a good sweat and having a bit of fun.
Because even after the disappointing finale against the Blackhawks, the Sabres are going into the break playing some of their best hockey of the season.
