More than half of the NHL's 30 teams have played either 12 or 13 games, meaning they're at or just past the quarter pole of this shortened 48-game season.
Heading into the season, one of the talking points came from folks wondering which general manager would be the first to panic. Would a coach get fired after an obscenely small sample of games? Would a veteran player end up being traded

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers will not be playing Saturday night against the New York Islanders. He's not hurt. He's just not playing because he hasn't been good at hockey lately.
"I was on the right track and then, it's just all mental for me," Myers told WGR 550. "I make a mistake, I'm too hard on myself and put too much pressure on myself in the long run. So I think I just need

Sabres forward admits he took a step back after posting a career year, and plans on doing his best during the summer to focus on getting back to where his game needs to be.
Drew Stafford "When you break through you want to stay at that level, It was frustrating. That's part of it. When you think, 'All right, here it is. Let's go. Let's continue to get better. Let's win some games,' kind of thing, and it wasn't there. It was tough to deal with that."
Drew Stafford "The times this year when the production wasn't there, it's more of getting away from the way I need to play, Last year I'd get the puck at certain points it would be a shot. I would know I'm shooting. When things aren't going your way, you start second-guessing. It's mentally challenging. At times I struggled with that. It's one thing that I'm going to work on to get better for next year."
