BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Marcus Foligno looked up at the video board and was moved as the Buffalo Sabres said farewell to two of their most popular players. Jhonas Enroth made 36 saves as the Sabres beat the San Jose Sharks 4-2 on Friday night, a few hours after they traded goalie Ryan Miller and captain Steve Ott. "Im not going to lie. It was pretty emotional watching the tribute," Foligno said. "That was pretty nice what they did during the game, and those are two players that were hugely respected here in the city and respected Buffalo as well." Miller was set to start his 541st career game for the Sabres, but was pulled from the lineup just over an hour before the puck was dropped. The deal made Ted Nolan push Enroth into the starting lineup. "I was sitting in the back, joking around with the trainers about all these trade rumours and I told them hopefully it doesnt happen on game day, especially against the Sharks," Enroth quipped. "Three minutes after, Coach Nolan came up to me and told me I was starting, so I kind of jinxed myself there. "After that, I was a bit more nervous than usual but I told myself I had nothing to lose." Enroth played well and the Sabres got goals from Cody Hodgson, Brian Flynn, Matt Moulson and Tyler Myers. It was Enroths second consecutive win after he snapped a 0-10-4 slump with a 5-4 overtime win against Boston on Wednesday, which was his first home win since April. With the trade of Miller, Buffalo was forced to reach into their new hockey academy staff for a backup goaltender. HarborCenter director of technology Ryan Vinz was Buffalos No. 2 goaltender after being a video co-ordinator at Clarkson University. James Sheppard and Patrick Marleau scored for San Jose. With the trade, Buffalo general manager Tim Murray struck his first major deal since being hired in January, acquiring goalie Jaroslav Halak, forward Chris Stewart, prospect William Carrier, a 2015 first-round pick and a conditional 2016 third-round pick. Murray later explained that the pick in 2016 could turn into a first-round pick in this years draft if the Blues reach the Western Conference finals or Miller re-signs with St. Louis before the draft. The win gave Buffalo three straight wins for the first time since last April, and Myers said the milestone carries significance. "It feels good," he said. "We knew what position we were in going into this game, and we really wanted it. Hearing the news before the game we wanted it that much more." The Sabres opened the scoring on a power-play goal 10:59 into the first period, as Antti Niemi couldnt hold on to Hodgsons wrist shot. It was Hodgsons 15th goal and his first since Jan. 28. Enroth made a glove save of Matt Irwins slap shot through traffic with under seven minutes to play to keep Buffalo ahead. He made another strong glove save 7:22 into the second period when Marleau was left uncovered in the slot. "It was kind of late notice," Enroth said of getting the word he was starting, "but I just told myself to relax, go out there and compete." Moments after Enroth stopped Marleau, Myers beat Niemi off a rush up the right side, but his shot clanked off the cross bar. After another pair of saves, Enroth was beaten when Sheppard forced a puck between the goaltenders legs after a shot rebounded off the end boards. The Sharks finished the second period with a 31-13 advantage in shots on goal. "We knew theyd be ready," Sharks centre Joe Pavelski said. "We had our chances to score early and we didnt, fell behind, climbed back and just didnt turn the corner like we needed to." Buffalo restored its lead 4:33 into the third when Zemgus Girgensons won a faceoff back to Flynn, whose wrist shot beat Niemi. The Sabres doubled their advantage four minutes later when Myers jumped into the play from the right point to feed Moulson in the slot, who scored over Niemis shoulder. Marleau brought the Sharks within one with a one-timer with 1:15 left in regulation. Joe Thornton picked up his 50th assist of the season on the goal. "They played hard," Thornton said of the Sabres. "Obviously, Im sure a lot of feelings over there with two teammates. its a tough business, but they played well tonight." Myers added an empty-net goal with 21 seconds left to give him a goal and two assists on the night. "Tyler Myers is really starting to come into his own," Nolan said. "I thought he was sensational tonight." NOTES: Tyler Ennis missed his second straight game for Buffalo with "undisclosed soreness" ...

He prefers to leave with two points for the struggling Anaheim Ducks. Kesler will take the ice in Vancouver for the first time as a visitor Thursday night with the Ducks trying to avoid a fourth straight loss. Catch all the action on TSN 1040 with coverage beginning at 5pm pt. Kesler was drafted 23rd overall by Vancouver in 2003, and became a mainstay as one of the best defensive forwards in the NHL, winning the Selke Trophy in 2011. He also collected 182 goals and 393 points, ranking third on the team over his tenure with the Canucks. His time in Vancouver ended with 25 goals, 43 points and a minus-15 rating last season as the team missed the playoffs. He then asked for a trade, waived his no-trade clause and was dealt to Anaheim (11-4-5) for center Nick Bonino, defenseman Luca Sbisa and two draft picks over the summer. Hopefully they appreciated the 11 years that I played here, and remember the good times, Kesler said. Im hoping for a warm reception, but if not, its part of the game. Its going to be an emotional night for me, but if they boo me, itll probably jack me up even more. Its going to be fun. Its going to be an intense night, and Im looking forward to it. Kesler, third on the Ducks with 15 points, has already faced the Canucks (13-6-0), getting an assist before missing the final shootout attempt in a 2-1 home loss on Nov. 9. I think its still going to be weird, Kesler said. When you play with guys for 10 or 11 years, and are roommates with Kevin Bieksa for eight years, you grow a bond and a friendship thatts never broken.dddddddddddd The biggest thing is putting on a different uniform and being the visiting team in this building. Thats going to be different. Winning would also be a change since the Ducks are 1-1-5 after starting the season 10-3-0. They squandered a 2-0 third-period lead in Tuesdays 4-3 shootout loss at Calgary. Anaheim, though, is 6-0-1 in its last seven games at Vancouver, winning four in a row with an 18-5 scoring edge. Ryan Getzlaf has 15 points in his last 15 road meetings with the Canucks, collecting five in the past four. However, the center has no points and is a minus-5 while mustering one shot in the past two games overall. The Canucks won for the third time in four games with Wednesdays 5-4 victory at Edmonton. Vancouver blew a two-goal lead in the second period and won on defenseman Yannick Webers first goal of the season at 11:32 of the third. I think for us, after the second, we just knew we had to stick to our plan, we knew we could outplay them and at the end, I think we deserved the win, Weber said. Radim Vrbata leads Vancouver with eight goals after netting two Wednesday. The right wing has 11 points in his last eight meetings with the Ducks, collecting three assists for Arizona in a 5-3 loss on Jan. 11. Its unclear if Ryan Miller will start after making 28 saves against the Oilers, tying Nashvilles Pekka Rinne for the league lead with 12 wins. He has a 2.56 goals-against average while splitting six games against the Ducks. Backup Eddie Lack, however, had 28 saves and turned aside three shootout attempts in last weeks matchup, which is also his latest start. He had lost his five previous meetings with a 3.81 GAA.
