SUNRISE, Fla. -- The Buffalo Sabres got the lead for a change, and held onto it thanks to a stellar performance in goal by Jhonas Enroth. Steve Ott scored the go-ahead goal, Enroth made 44 saves and the Sabres beat the Florida Panthers 3-1 Friday night to win for just the second time in 12 games and break a three-game losing streak. Rasmus Ristolainen and Cody Hodgson also scored for Buffalo. Coming into the game, the Sabres (2-9-1) had led for only 9 minutes, 35 seconds this season, in their game against Tampa Bay on Oct. 8. Their other win was in a shootout against the New York Islanders on Oct. 15. Enroth withstood a steady barrage from the Panthers, who took a season-high 45 shots. He only stumbled once when Jesse Winchester batted the puck out of the air in front and into the net for Floridas goal. "I think I played a pretty perfect game . well, it was a perfect game, that goal they scored is one out of a hundred I think, so it was a good game for me," Enroth said. "I dont think they can do that play over again." The Sabres went ahead 2-1 at 12:42 in the third on Otts goal. Christian Ehrhoff took a shot from the point and Ott was able to tip it past Jacob Markstrom. Hodgson scored an empty-net goal with 47 seconds left. "That was a huge goal for us to score in the third," Enroth said. "Usually we give up the goal with a couple minutes left. . Hopefully we can start building on that. This is a special feeling, winning the game instead of losing when you play good." Markstrom stopped 18 shots in the Panthers fifth loss in six games. The Sabres tied it 1-all on Ristolainens goal at 13:32 of the second period. The 18-year-old rookie got his first NHL goal on a slap shot from the right circle that got past Markstrom. "We were able to get a couple point shots through there, that was big, and on both goals we had some good net presence," Sabres coach Ron Rolston said. "We were fortunate to get those two and the guys turned in a real good third." Besides Ristolainen, the Sabres played three other players that are teenagers: Mikhail Grigorenko (19) Zemgus Girgensons (19) and Nikita Zadorov (18). "Theyve done a good job. . I like where are young guys are right now and where theyre going and where were heading," Rolston said. The Panthers took a 1-0 lead on Winchesters goal in the first period. Sean Bergenheim passed from the left circle across to Winchester, who was able to tip in the puck high into the net at 13:58 for his second goal of the season. It was Bergenheims first NHL point since April 26, 2012, in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against New Jersey. "It was a pretty simple play. I just drove the net and hit it out of the air," Winchester said. "It wasnt pretty, but it was great to see Bergy get in on it, especially so early on in the game." Bergenheim played two games in Finland during the lockout last year, but has spent 18 months recovering from multiple surgeries on his abdomen, groin and hip. The Panthers outshot the Sabres 18-4 in the first period, and led in shots 34-14 at the end of the second. "There was a lot of hard work put into the game and theres no reward at all. Theres no points," Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said. "At the end of the day, were all about the two points. On that one, its not a good night." NOTES: Buffalo C Cody McCormick, sidelined with a leg injury since Oct. 19, returned to the ice on Friday. . D Mike Weber sustained an upper body injury. . Floridas 45 shots is a season high and the most since 39 in the season opener at Dallas on Oct. 3. ...

A spokeswoman for the NLRB says its "a very incremental move" and does not necessarily indicate the board is close to a finding in the case. NFL owners filed an unfair labour charge against the players union in February, arguing that the union was not negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement in good faith. Ray Lewis Jersey . The Canadian skicross racer appeared to have the bronze medal locked up in the mens final at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, only to wipe out while trying to make a pass in the biggest moment of his career. Patrick Ricard Jersey .C. -- Eric Staal kept his focus after his apparent breakaway goal was waived off early in the third period.With the ugliness of the NHL lockout and a shortened season long washed away by the excitement of a new and complete year ahead, were re-launching The Dreger Report, a weekly dispatch on NHL news and views. This week, TSNs Ryan Rishaug reported that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins agent Rick Valette and Oilers management have begun negotiations on a contract extension. The brass in Edmonton loves RNH - hes their guy. Hes considered a big part of the Oilers future. An eight-year extension to complement Jordan Eberles six-year, $36 million and Taylor Halls seven-year, $42 million deal (agreed to last August) aligns with an Oilers source who says, "longer is better" - specific to Nugent-Hopkins. Its not the model other teams around the NHL are using when addressing their players and their second (bridge) contracts, but Edmonton is clearly banking on its youth when it comes to a brighter future. ----- NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and NHLPA Executive Director Don Fehr will meet with the IIHF in Portugal on Thursday. Whether discussed at this meeting or not, theres a growing sense of urgency in determining the NHLs plans to continue to expand its European profile. While its not CBA related, the NHL and NHLPA did agree to work together to send four NHL teams back to Europe next fall for regular season games. Sources say there has been little progress in planning the NHLs return and time may be running out. NHL clubs are already making plans for their 2014 training camps and preseason games and the marketing impact required may suffer because of the loose ends. The World Cup of Hockey is also on the list of items that IIHF executives would like to discuss this week. Without question, both the NHLPA and the NHL arre keenly interested in bringing this spectacle back, however, aside from some informal discussions, there appears to be little urgency to kick this joint initiative into high gear.dddddddddddd ----- And a couple of things that will likely be re-visited by the players and the league in the months ahead: 1) The additional two-minute penalty for removing a helmet to fight - There may not be a more "toothless" penalty in hockey than this one. The idea of a game misconduct was discussed, however, before it crossed the desk of the competition committee and sources say it had already been dismissed by NHL GMs. Its unlikely the PA would have supported it, as players still value the enforcers role. But in its current form, it appears to be a wash as those who opt for "buckets off" will only do so if their opponent agrees. The rule is designed for the safety of the players and to avoid the potential for catostrophic injury. We get it, but two minutes seems hardly an effective deterrent. 2) Delaying the inevitable expansion of video review - NHL Hockey Operations postponed implementation of video review for high-sticking penalties after agreeing to introduce it in the summer. The league doesnt see the issue as clear-cut and believes more time is needed to explore the downside of adding an extra set of eyes. Boston and Montreal provided a good example on Monday of why the concept was initially accepted when Boston scored while Montreal as serving a double-minor for high-sticking. Unfortunately, it was Bostons Carl Soderberg who clipped teammate Craig Cunningham and not Canadiens forward Gabriel Dumont - who was assessed the four-minute penalty. Wrong is never right.
