Sharpen Up: All the Sabres news you need to know on November 4, 2019

Good morning - or, as they say in Sweden, god morgon.
The Sabres have touched down in Stockholm, where they'll play two games against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday and Saturday as part of the 2019 NHL Global Series at Ericsson Globe.
Ralph Krueger spoke about the week ahead following the team's game against the New York Islanders on Saturday.

"We're proud to be ambassadors for the National Hockey League in Europe for that week," Krueger said. "It's a break from all club games in Europe. It's only national teams playing so we will definitely be the focal point and that's a role that we're embracing.
"… Monday, Tuesday will be an adjustment and then Wednesday, Thursday - we've got two days of practice that are of value to us right now and two very important games. It'll be business as usual for us in another environment, but we do recognize the responsibility that we have. We look forward to the challenge against Tampa, but it is a week of being able to continue to build on what happened today."

About the game

The Sabres outshot and out-chanced the Islanders but were never able to push one past goaltender Semyon Varlamov in a 1-0 loss.
"We worked hard, we got back to our way from last night," alternate captain Marcus Johansson said. "We just couldn't get it done. I think we worked hard, and we tried everything we had but that's the way it goes sometimes."
