It may be hard for some to believe that Buffalo Sabres goalie Craig Anderson is still playing in the NHL this season. His (long ago) former team certainly took note of his presence on Friday night, though. Anderson, 41, became the oldest goalie in NHL history to generate 50 saves in a game, helping the Sabres squeeze out a 3-1 win over the Florida Panthers.
On the back of an unexpectedly strong goalie performance, the Sabres end Friday in an equally surprising position: the East’s second wild card.
