According to vice president of finance John Marsh, the Sabres have drawn $8 million on their court-approved, debtors-in-possession loan. He noted that the club expects to draw between $12 million and $15 million more by the end of the regular season on April 6. Since further loans are unlikely, the Sabres could fold |

Martin Biron made 30 saves and four different Sabres scored goals, as Buffalo earned a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning at the St. Pete Times Forum. Maxim Afinogenov, Alexei |
