BUFFALO, N. Jeff Carter Jersey .Y. -- For once, Buffalo Sabres coach Dan Bylsma couldnt complain about his teams lack of offense.Anders Nilsson stopped 46 shots, plus three more in the shootout, to stymie the Sidney Crosby-led Pittsburgh Penguins.And one goal in regulation, plus minor league call-up Cal OReillys shootout tally, were just enough for the offensively challenged Sabres to pull out a 2-1 victory Saturday night.Well, it doesnt really matter at this point in time who its against, Bylsma said. But its a win we desperately needed and against one of the better teams, if not the best team, in the league.William Carrier scored in regulation for Buffalo, which hasnt scored more than twice in 10 straight games, dating to a 3-1 win at Winnipeg on Oct. 30.In snapping an 0-4-2 skid, Buffalos victory came on the heels of a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Friday after which Sabres forward Evander Kane expressed frustration about his teams lack of offense. He sarcastically said Buffalo had become the joke of the NHL because opponents needed only two goals to beat them.The difference on Saturday was the Penguins were unable to score twice.It took Pittsburgh 31 shots before Crosby beat Nilsson with a power-play goal to tie the game with 14:14 remaining in regulation.Its just one of those games where you leave feeling like you deserve better, said Crosby, who scored his 12th of the season and the 350th goal of his career. Ultimately, we have to find a way to bury a few chances. ... But he made some good saves. You have to give him credit.Pittsburgh has alternated losses and wins over its past five games since a 9-2-2 start, and was coming off a 3-2 overtime win at the New York Islanders on Friday night.The Penguins also lost to Buffalo for the first time in 10 meetings, since a 4-2 loss at Pittsburgh on April 23, 2013.Nilsson was solid in making just his second start in 11 games, and first since a 41-save performance in a 2-1 overtime loss to New Jersey on Nov. 11.Nilssons toughest saves came during overtime.A minute in, he kicked out his right pad to stop Phil Kessels drive from the right circle. A few seconds later, Nilsson squeezed his right arm just in time to trap Trevor Daleys shot.His best save came with 2:55 left in overtime, when he kicked out his left pad at the last moment to foil Kris Letang on a breakaway.After stopping Crosby and Evgeni Malkin on Pittsburghs first two shootout attempts, Nilsson sealed the win by stopping Letangs attempt to beat him through the legs.Obviously, they do have some very esteemed guys and some very good players in their lineup, Nilsson said. I tried to be as patient as possible and let them make the first move and try to make the save. And today I got lucky and was able to do that.OReilly scored on Buffalos third attempt by breaking up the right wing before cutting to the front of the net and beating Marc-Andre Fleury with a snap shot to the glove side.The goal came on the same day OReilly was called up from Buffalos AHL affiliate in Rochester. And it wasnt lost on Bylsma that OReilly has an established reputation for being a shootout specialist.OReilly has scored on six of 13 shootout attempts, with three of them game-deciding goals.Fleury was otherwise solid in stopping 32 shots through overtime.He was particularly sharp 2 minutes into the third period, when he got his glove up to stop Kanes shot from the left circle. Fleury then got across to his left to bat down Brian Giontas off-balance shot from the slot.Game notes Crosby has 15 goals and 50 points in 32 career games against Buffalo. ... Penguins forward Patric Hornqvist missed his second game with a concussion. Coach Mike Sullivan said Hornqvist skated on his own earlier in the day, but there was no timetable yet for his return. ... Aside from OReilly, the Sabres recalled forward Cole Schneider from Rochester. OReilly was the AHLs scoring leader with 18 points (three goals, 15 assists), and Schneider was tied for second with 17 (seven goals, 10 assists). ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Heavyweight world titleholder Deontay Wilders 2016 fight schedule is over.Although Wilder retained his belt with a one-sided, eighth-round knockout of Chris Arreola on Saturday night at Legacy Arena, the two significant injuries Wilder suffered in the bout will keep him out of the ring for the rest of the year, promoter Lou DiBella told ESPN.com on Sunday.Wilder, who broke his right hand and suffered a probable right biceps tear, spent most of the night at UAB Hospital. He will be back at the hospital soon, likely for two surgeries, one to repair each injury, DiBella said.Hes definitely going to need surgery on his right hand, DiBella said. He will have it as soon as is practical. He will likely also require surgery on his biceps.After the fight, Wilder, who was obviously in pain, winced as his right glove was removed and had ice put on his biceps. Then he came to ringside and told media members that he believed his hand was broken and displayed his disfigured biceps. Later in the dressing room, Dr. David Williams, an Alabama commission physician, diagnosed the broken hand and said Wilder also had a probable distal biceps tear.The 30-year-old Wilder (37-0, 36 KOs), one of boxings biggest punchers, has broken his right hand at least twice previously. After a first-round knockout of Travis Allen in 2009 (Wilders seventh professional fight), Wilder had the hand surgically repaired; pins were inserted to stabilize it. Wilder suffered a stress fracture in the same spot during his world title victory against Bermane Stiverne in January 2015, although he did not require a second procedure.Wilder, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, likely suffered the injuries against Arreola (36-5-1, 31 KOs) in the fourth round, when Wilder badly hurt Arreola, knocked him down with an onslaught of shots, including a big right hand, and then nearly stopped him in the final seconds of the round.Deontay is definitely out for tthe remainder of the year, but we will know more in the next few days, DiBella said. Luc Robitaille Jersey. Wilder fought through the injuries but essentially stopped using his right hand after the fourth round. But he was strong enough with his left jab and hook to continue breaking down Arreola, 35, of Riverside, California, until his trainer, Henry Ramirez, asked referee Jack Reiss to stop the bout after the eighth round. Arreolas left eye was swollen closed, and he had a bad cut over his right eye.These are very significant injuries and he was hurt early in the fight, so the fact that Deontay kept up his work rate as a one-armed fighter was pretty remarkable, DiBella said. He put such a beating on Arreola with one arm. Some damage was done early, but Deontay showed huge heart and will. He has the heart of a lion, the heart of a champion. Theres no reason to think he wont be back and be fine in 2017.Also on Sunday, Wilders team, including DiBella, co-manager Shelly Finkel and DiBella attorneys Alex Dombroff and Judd Burstein, met for about two hours with WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman and others from the sanctioning body, whose title Wilder holds, to discuss the situation related to the failed drug test of mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin of Russia. DiBella declined to discuss the specifics of the meeting.Wilder was supposed to fight Povetkin on May 21 in Russia, but Povetkin tested positive for trace amounts of the banned substance meldonium and the fight was called off nine days beforehand. The WBC then permitted Wilder to have an optional defense, which came against Arreola.About two weeks ago, Povetkin and his team met with WBC officials to present their side of the story. The WBC has to decide whether Povetkin will keep his mandatory status and if there will be any punishment.
