...but with only 38 points in 57 games, the Sabres are not going to make the playoffs. That said, Nolan's record since assuming command speaks for itself, leading Buffalo to 11 of their 15 wins and going 10-14-7 since a tumultuous 1-5-0 turnover period between Ron Rolston and Nolan.
Of all the issues facing this Sabres' team going forward - abysmal offense being the main culprit - health is no longer one of them.

| Moulson will undoubtedly be with another team very soon |
Left Winger Matt Moulson, centerman Cody McCormick and defenseman Tyler Myers all made the most of their Olympic break to heal their various wounds - Moulson's ribs, McCormick's finger and Meyer's leg ailment - and were back on the ice when the Sabres' returned from the layoff.
“They’re all feeling good, which is great,” Nolan said after returning from Sochi where he served as bench boss to the Latvian team that gave Team Canada a run for their money. “One good thing about the Olympics is it gave all the guys that got injured time to heal.”
Moulson, of course, is trade bait as he will be an unrestricted free agent at season's end - and with the trade deadline looming less than a week away, getting him back on the ice healthy could prove a boon to the Sabres in their attempt to acquire pieces and/or draft picks to rebuild their team with.
The Sabres' first couple of practices have been without their two top goalies, Ryan Miller and Jhonas Enroth, who were still in Russia playing in the medal round, so the team borrowed a couple of college kids for their less-than-imposing offense to take target practice on and Nolan suggested that whoever between Miller and Enroth got the most sleep on the way back from Sochi would be between the pipes when Buffalo hosts Carolina on Tuesday night.
Last place teams can fly by the seat of their pants like that.
