BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The New Jersey Devils will look to extend their season-best winning streak to four games on Saturday when they face the Buffalo Sabres in the second half of a home-and-home series.On Friday night, the Devils skated away with a 2-1 overtime road win in a game that featured an unlikely hero in captain Andy Greene. The steady defenseman was given a penalty shot opportunity 29 seconds into overtime and made no mistake, firing a wrist shot past Sabres goalie Anders Nilsson.A blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while, Greene said. I came in and I was just trying to be patient there. Make sure I dont fall and get a decent shot off. I was thinking about going blocker there, he took it away and try to sneak it five hole and luckily it went in.The Devils dominated the second half of the first meeting between the two teams and had several chances to put it away on the power play before Greenes game-winner. New Jersey outshot Buffalo 43-26 overall and 18-5 in the third period.We knew that this team was good at home and we had a hard time at the beginning of the game, said defenseman Yohann Auvitu, who scored in regulation for New Jersey. But I think that we came through the game and our third period was really good and at the end we get two points and were really happy for that.Both teams are expected to play their starting goaltenders after using their backups on Friday night, and both Cory Schneider and Robin Lehner have gotten off to nearly identical starts to the season. In 10 games, Schneider has a record of 5-3-2 and a save percentage of .928. Lehner, meanwhile, has a record of 4-4-2 and a save percentage of .929 in 10 games.The Sabres may be without top forward Ryan OReilly, who aggravated a previous injury in Fridays loss to the Devils. OReilly left the game early in the third period and did not return.He felt fine to go and I havent talked to him other than to know he re-aggravated it in the face-off circle there in the third period, Sabres head coach Dan Bylsma said. Obviously its day-to-day at this point. I dont know if he cant go (Saturday) ... I dont see it lingering longer than getting that chance to rest.The Sabres must find a way to create more offense no matter who is in the lineup. They have struggled to generate offense with injuries to several key players and rank 29th in the league in goals per game.The Devils may be without a key forward as well. Left winger Mike Cammalleri missed Friday nights game due to personal reasons and his status for Saturday was uncertain after the win.I havent spoken with Mike since he left, Devils head coach John Hynes said. Will talk with him today and then tomorrow and see where hes at. He flew back to Jersey. Hydro Flask Wide Mouth Flex Cap .

DENVER -- If success is determined only by the size of your bank account, then Brock Osweiler is your man. He was offered an $18 million wage to work for the Houston Texans?and a $16 million wage to work for the Denver Broncos, and he took the extra loot. In that context, Houston, we have no problem.But we all know that happiness and prosperity in life, even in pro football, are often defined by things that have nothing to do with dollars and cents. Take championship rings, for instance. How much money do you think Dan Marino would give back if it meant adding a Super Bowl title to his otherwise staggering legacy?Someday in the distant future, Mr. Osweiler -- never to be confused with Mr. Marino -- might wonder if he shouldve taken a home-team discount to keep playing for a Marino contemporary who does own multiple Super Bowl rings, John Elway, a legendary quarterback who has a chance to become a legendary executive.Osweiler?sure had to be thinking that way Monday night, when the Broncos made the NBA-sized quarterback look smaller than the fine ink in his $72 million deal. Osweiler threw the ball 41 times for a grand total of 131 yards in this 27-9 defeat. He opened with a three-and-out after the Broncos won the coin toss and elected to send their defenders right at him, and things went south from there.Osweiler was all over the place with his passes, and the Broncos hit him hard on or after delivery every chance they got. Osweiler yelled at wide receiver?DeAndre Hopkins, a much better football player than the quarterback, after one throw to nowhere. He dropped one perfectly fine shotgun snap, and on the first play of the fourth quarter, he fumbled away a pass attempt that was more like a Comedy Central routine.I looked up in the fourth quarter before that last drive, and he had like 70 yards passing, Broncos cornerback?Aqib Talib said. And I just smiled on the inside. Thats what we wanted to do. We wanted Brock to come out here and struggle, and he came out here and struggled.Talib was asked at his locker if the Broncos were motivated not only to end their surprising, two-game losing streak but also by a desire to prove to Osweiler that he shouldnt have left.Definitely, definitely, the cornerback said. We know he looked up at those passing yards in the fourth quarter. And maybe it wouldnt have looked like that if he had stayed.Talibs colleague in the secondary, T.J. Ward, said the Broncos had identified an alarming weakness in Osweilers game.We knew that he struggles with disguises, Ward said. Wed seen that from playing here and the film, so we tried to do that. We started kind of slow in the beginning, but we got better as the game went on, and it affected him.Not much didnt affect Osweiler in this game, and that mightve had the Broncos wondering if they shouldve tried to re-sign him after all. But Elway did want him, and he drafted him in the second round to someday lead the franchise the same year he signed Peyton Manning.Osweiler slammed that door in his former boss famous face, and that was a worse decision than any he made Monday. Elway has taken the Broncos to seven Super Bowls as a player and general manager. Elways teams won three of those big ones, and yeah, hed probably trade a lot more than his economics degree from Stanford to make that number four or five.Osweiler left that guy for a Texans franchise that has won two wild-card games in its 14-year existence. No offense to Bill OBrien, once a quarterback whisperer in New England, or Rick Smith, a good general manager. OBrien and Smith definitely know what they are doing, and they definitely understood that they were taking a big, fat gamble on an athletic, 6-foot-8 kid with seven career starts to his name.You can understand what the Texans were thinking. They were sick and tired of the middling quarterbacks in their rotation, and they needed to try something drastic at the sports most important position before they wasted another year of J.J. Wattts prime.ddddddddddddut what in the world was Osweiler thinking when he left this near-perfect situation in Denver? For that matter, what in the world was his super-agent, Jimmy Sexton, thinking?Denver is a defending champ with a passionate fan base, a terrifying defense, a former quarterback (Gary Kubiak) as head coach and a former quarterback, Elway, as the GM who proved last season that?he knows how to build a team that can win it all while removing a ton of pressure from the limited man under center. Elway has proven to be a lighting-fast learner too. The Broncos were coming off a 4-12 season when he was hired in 2011, and he has won five consecutive division titles, 58 regular-season games, six postseason games and one Super Bowl in two tries. Osweiler walked out on that program because he said he fit better in OBriens system.How did that fit work out Monday?Extremely disappointing was how Osweiler described the performance. The Broncos, he said, are a great football team. They are very well-coached. They came in playing all three phases today.Yes, they did, just like they did when Osweiler was one of them. So, of course, he was asked if he had any regrets about leaving a championship team.Absolutely not, he said. I always told people that I never live my life looking in the rearview mirror with any regret.Osweiler said he was surprised the boos that greeted him werent louder. Hey, the fans arent stupid. Brock Osweilers return to Denver in the colors of the Houston Texans wasnt exactly LeBron James return to Cleveland in the colors of the Miami Heat.Even so, Osweiler should still be the Broncos starter -- not the less talented Trevor Siemian?--?and the quarterbacks representative, Sexton, has to take a hit for that. Too often, agents confuse the richest deal with the best deal. If Sextons client is telling the truth when he says his benching late last season?for a returning Manning didnt drive him out, then what was the deal? Osweiler wouldnt have faced the burdens of replacing the record-breaking 2013 Manning. He wouldve been replacing a shell of Peytons former self.Osweiler said what he said about the Texans giving him the best opportunity to be successful,?and Elway said what he said about spending his money on players who want to be Denver Broncos and want to be here. The Broncos GM smartly saved his free-agent pennies for Von Miller, Super Bowl MVP and the kind of weapon Elway knew he needed for the Cam Newtons of the world, after he saw what Seattle did to Manning on that godforsaken Super Bowl day in New Jersey.This isnt to say Osweiler wont develop into a pretty good player in this league. He beat the unbeaten Patriots last season, and he delivered a thrilling comeback against the Colts last week, and he made a sweet, third-and-8 run against Denver in the third quarter. There are reasons one of Osweilers assistant coaches at Arizona State, Matt Lubick, brother of Broncos assistant Marc Lubick, assured Elway in the winter of 2012 that the kid would end up as one of the steals of the draft.But Osweiler is struggling now, while?the Broncos are the Broncos, and Elway has beaten the Patriots in one AFC Championship Game with an offensive-minded team (2013) and in another with a defensive-minded team (2015). He has already joined Bill Belichick, Pat Riley, R.C. Buford and Theo Epstein among?the best personnel guys in sports.As he headed for his car after this sweetest of October victories, a smiling Elway stopped near a stadium barrier to mingle with players family members and others looking for photos. He always walks -- or hobbles -- with his shoulders pinned back and his barrel chest puffed out. It seemed on this night that his chest was puffed out an extra inch or two.Why not? It was painfully clear that Brock Osweiler, former Bronco, had put his money on the wrong horse.
