Sharpen Up: February 15, 2017

That's one way to earn two points. Buffalo scored twice in the third period last night to come back and beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2 at Canadian Tire Centre. Justin Bailey's second-career goal proved to be the game winner.
Here's what you need to know.

Boy, does Robin Lehner sure love playing his old team. He made 39 saves to improve to 4-0-2 in his career against Ottawa, with a .959 save percentage and a 1.30 goals-against average. Check out more in Jourdon LaBarber's game recap.

With an assist on Ryan O'Reilly's goal 24 seconds into the game, Kyle Okposo extended his point streak to seven games. He also has points in seven straight for the first time since he tied his career-best mark of eight games (12/17/13-1/2/14).

Matt Moulson also scored for Buffalo. It was his 12th of the season and 22nd point, which eclipsed his point total from all of last year.

Let's hear from Bailey on the postgame show when he joined Brian Duff and Brad May:

For the Sabres it was a good bounce back game from a disappointing showing Sunday night against Vancouver. The players, however, know that if they don't build off this win then they'll be right back where they were - or further behind in the standings.
"We're not satisfied at all," O'Reilly said. "It's one game and we have to string a bunch together here. Our consistency has been terrible and we're not happy by any means here. We have to prove to each other every night that we're a team that can contend."

"Soul On Ice" screening tonight

In conjunction with Hockey Is For Everyone Month, a special screening of Soul On Ice: Past, Present & Future will be held at the Dipson Amherst Theatre tonight at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $10 and all proceeds will benefit Hasek's Heroes.
Soul On Ice: Past, Present & Future touches on the many contributions black athletes have made to ice hockey. The film primarily follows Jaden Lindo, a young man working to make his goal of reaching the NHL a reality. Icons like Tony McKegney, Wayne Simmonds, Grant Fuhr and Don Cherry also sit down to offer in-depth interviews and personal insights.
After the screening, Mason will lead a panel discussion that will also include Sabres alumni Tony McKegney and Val James, both of whom are featured in the film.
The HIFE movement is designed to support non-profit youth hockey organizations committed to allowing children of all backgrounds to play hockey.
