BUFFALO, N.Y. \u2014 Lindy Ruff is mixing things up on the power play.<\/p>\n

After scoring twice in Game 1 against the Canadiens, the Sabres\u2019 power play went cold again during a 5-1 loss in Game 2. Finding a rhythm with the man advantage has been a season-long issue for Buffalo. On Saturday at practice, Ruff went with two different looks with his power-play units.<\/p>\n

On the top unit were Rasmus Dahlin, Tage Thompson, Zach Benson, Josh Doan and Jack Quinn.<\/p>\n

On the second unit, the Sabres had Bowen Byram, Alex Tuch, Jason Zucker, Josh Norris and Ryan McLeod.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to shake it up,\u201d Ruff said after practice. \u201cWe feel it\u2019s the right time for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sabres have just one goal from their top power-play unit during the postseason. Both Game 1 power-play goals came from the second unit. McLeod scored on a feed from Benson, and Byram got a goal later in the game. Benson and Doan were arguably Buffalo\u2019s two best players in Game 2. Ruff said Benson\u2019s ability to make plays in small areas is a reason why he\u2019s getting a look with the top unit. And Quinn is going to be on the flank.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy not?\u201d Ruff said.<\/p>\n

Nobody is going to argue with Buffalo changing things on the power play. In Game 2, neither team scored on the power play, but the Canadiens were building momentum with their looks while the Sabres were stuck in the mud. Their entries have been a major issue, and Benson should help with that. He\u2019s skilled at slipping into the zone and relieving pressure.<\/p>\n

If nothing else, having Doan and Benson should make the top unit better at winning puck battles and creating chaos in front of the net. That group is in need of a mentality change, and these changes should accomplish that.<\/p>\n

Here are some other news and notes heading into Game 3:<\/p>\n

1. Sam Carrick is available to play in Game 3. Tyson Kozak did not practice with the Sabres on Saturday because he was \u201cgetting some work done,\u201d according to Ruff. Carrick sliding into Kozak\u2019s spot as the center on the fourth line is the logical lineup change the Sabres can make. Carrick has won 57 percent of his faceoffs since joining the Sabres, which is a key stat for a team that is dead last in faceoff percentage in the playoffs after finishing 32nd in that category during the regular season. Carrick hasn\u2019t played since March 31 with an arm injury, but he\u2019s been practicing since early in the week. Carrick\u2019s addition to the forward group was the only change to the lines from Game 2.<\/p>\n

2. Thompson\u2019s rough game headlined Buffalo\u2019s loss on Friday night, but his linemate was encouraged by what he saw from him in practice on Saturday. Tuch said Thompson was \u201cabsolutely flying\u201d at practice and \u201cworking on a lot of little things,\u201d and was also eager to point out that Thompson was far from alone in his Game 2 struggles.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe expects a lot of himself,\u201d Tuch said. \u201cI don\u2019t think anyone is harder on him than Tage is.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe knows it and we know it that we are going to need him to be at his best. I didn\u2019t help him out there. I wasn\u2019t at my best out there. I don\u2019t think I really need to speak much on that we all have to do better, we all have to do better. He\u2019s hungry. He wants to be better. He\u2019s going to be better for us. He\u2019s done it time and time again. I\u2019m excited to see what he has in store for us tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. It doesn\u2019t look like Ruff is going to make a goalie change in Game 3. Alex Lyon had the net to himself at practice the day after he allowed four goals. This was the first off-game Lyon has had since he took over Buffalo\u2019s net in Game 3 of the last series. Because of the Sabres\u2019 season-long goalie rotation, neither goalie is particularly used to carrying the load the way Lyon has over the last couple of weeks. But Ruff thinks he\u2019s handling it well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s handled it really well and I really do feel that,\u201d Ruff said. \u201cYou have a deflected shot, tough save and you have one that\u2019s going through a mess of players that he doesn\u2019t pick up until late on the second goal. He\u2019s given us excellent goaltending and I\u2019ve had conversations with him; he feels good. I know he\u2019s seen a great number of starts, which is unusual for us, but at the same time we wouldn\u2019t hesitate to put UPL in there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now doesn\u2019t feel like the time to make a goaltending change. Lyon\u2019s been a steady veteran presence on this team, and he competed hard late in the game to make a few strong saves. But Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is more than capable of stepping back in if needed.<\/p>\n

4. Ruff and the Sabres certainly aren\u2019t panicked after one bad game in this series. The feeling at practice on Saturday was similar to the feeling the Sabres had before they left for Boston in the first round. This is a team that is confident and comfortable playing on the road. And this team has also repeatedly found a way to respond to bad losses all season long. That doesn\u2019t guarantee they are going to be able to solve this Canadiens team, but Ruff seems comfortable with his team\u2019s mental state heading to Montreal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talked before practice about balancing the emotions of wins and losses in playoffs,\u201d Ruff said. \u201cGoing through this for so many years, sometimes when you\u2019re winning, you don\u2019t ever think you\u2019re going to lose in the playoffs. And then when you lose one, you don\u2019t ever think you\u2019re going to win again. Same type of emotion we had after Game 2 of the previous series. We knew we had to go play really (well) in Boston, we did. The whole year, we\u2019ve answered the call. We had a couple stretches after our 10-game winning streak. We played a terrible game in Columbus, and we bounced back with real good hockey. So really just reset, refocus. Let\u2019s take the temperature down a little bit, knowing that we can be better.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
