Sabres showing improvement on penalty kill

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As Chad Johnson watches from his crease when the Sabres kill penalties, the goaltender sees an increased pace. He sees guys who know what they’re doing and, more importantly, know what their teammates are doing.

“The more we play with each other, the more we jell,” Johnson said. “It’s a lot better than it was in the start when all these new faces were trying to get used to a new system. Guys were a little bit late on plays, and now we’re talking and we’re comfortable with each other.”

The comfort is showing in the results.
