Ryan Miller returned to net for the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday evening and Lindy Ruff probably couldn’t have written a better script.  Miller made a few spectacular saves in net and this time took matters into his own hands after he was run at yet again, as the Sabres defeated the Nashville Predators 3-2 on the road.

Nashville tough guy Jordin Tootoo went crashing through Miller in his crease and unlike the infamous incident in Boston where Milan Lucic ran Miller over and the team didn’t respond.  This time, Miller started throwing punches at Tootoo before the two landed on the ground, and a slew of Sabres were quickly in the pile, including Paul Gaustad, who connected on multiple punches on Tatoo while he was on the ice. (We’ll have much more on this Monday morning)

Luke Adam and Zack Kassian scored Buffalo’s two goal as the team opened a 2-1 lead.  Nashville cut the score in half but Tyler Ennis put the game away with his first goal of the season in the third period.  Nashville scored with the extra attacker late but the Sabres prevented a tie in the final moments.

Buffalo is off until they play Philadelphia Wednesday.
