Sharpen Up: January 17, 2019

What a finish. Jack Eichel's overtime goal gave Buffalo a 4-3 win in Calgary last night.
The Sabres are set to return to practice today in Vancouver. They have a game against the Canucks tomorrow night to wrap up the three-game road trip.
Here's what you need to know.

About last night

Let's just take another look at Eichel's goal before we dive into the Lexus Postgame Report.

Jack Eichel looked as though he might play the full five minutes in overtime, if that's what it took.
The Sabres captain had missed on a pair of point-blank chances in the first period and rung the crossbar with a backhand shot in overtime when he gathered the puck in the neutral zone at Scotiabank Saddledome on Wednesday, already a minute into a long shift.
Eichel faked a drop pass as if he was about to head to the bench, then began to glide toward the Calgary zone. He knew Flames defenseman Mark Giordano was at the end of his own long shift. When Giordano lunged to try and poke the puck away, he pounced.
Eichel found an extra gear to speed by the defender and roofed a shot over the shoulder of Flames goalie David Rittich, clinching a 4-3 win over the Flames.

"It looked like he just lulled them to sleep a little bit, and that's what makes him so special," Evan Rodrigues, who scored earlier in the game, said. "He takes one drive and he's by a guy. Obviously, he's got a lethal shot too, so that's just typical Eichs."
The moment signified a weight lifted both for Eichel and the Sabres as a whole. The team was coming off a 7-2 loss in Edmonton on Monday, its third in a row. Eichel hadn't found the back of the net in three games since returning from an upper-body injury.
"You put a lot of pressure on yourself, you want to be a difference maker every night," he said. "When things aren't going well, you want to be one of the guys to make a difference. I think that's when you start gripping your stick and start thinking about it a little too much.
"Hopefully that goal can get me going again. It's just what I needed."

Dahlin's record-tying streak

Rasmus Dahlin and Jake McCabe also scored for Buffalo. Dahlin joins some elite company as an 18-year-old defenseman on a five-game point streak. He has a goal and five assists in that span.

Dahlin was the focus of Tuesday's Ice Level Practice Report, which you can check out here.
