BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Ryan Miller was more concerned about overcoming jetlag than thinking about providing a memorable send-off in what could potentially have been one of the goalies final games for the Buffalo Sabres. A little over a day after returning to Buffalo from the Sochi Games, and with his future uncertain, Miller stopped 36 shots and even contributed to the offence with two assists in a 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night in the NHLs first game after its Olympic break. "I wasnt really getting to far ahead or thinking about that kind of stuff," Miller said when asked about his future. Before the game, general manager Tim Murray acknowledged hes shopping the goalie with the intention of dealing him before the leagues trade deadline on March 5. Miller is on the block because hes in the final year of his contract, and Murray is unsure whether the 33-year-old is prepared to re-sign with a team thats rebuilding through youth. "Im trying to take the approach to take things as they come right now and be positive and play hockey," Miller added. "Its a lot of fun to play and win. Im going to try to enjoy these kind of moments where you can help make a difference." Despite feeling "a little bit goofy" from jetlag, Miller was certainly the difference by stopping the first 20 shots he faced in a game in which Buffalo was outshot 38-18. "It just shows what kind of goaltender we have in Ryan Miller," interim coach Ted Nolan said. "I dont think we had too much reason to say we were the better team tonight outside of Ryan Miller stealing that game for us." Christian Ehrhoff scored twice, including the go-ahead goal with 44 seconds left. Tyler Ennis also scored for Buffalo, which snapped a four-game skid, and won for only the third time in its past 14 games (3-8-3). Both of Millers assists came on Ehrhoffs goals. That made him the NHLs first goalie to have that many since Vancouvers Cory Schneider had two in a 5-4 overtime loss to Tampa Bay on Dec. 11, 2010, according to STATS. Ehrhoffs decisive goal came after he circled the Hurricanes net, and then stopped and spun in the right circle, where he attempted to feed the puck through the crease to teammate Marcus Foligno. The puck instead glanced off the stick of Hurricanes defenceman Justin Faulk and floated in over goaltender Cam Ward. Eric Staal and Alexander Semin scored for the Hurricanes, who lost to Buffalo in regulation for the first time in seven meetings, dating to a 1-0 loss at Carolina on Nov. 18. 2011. The teams got an early start coming out of the NHLs two-week break. The game was originally scheduled to be played Jan. 9, but postponed after a blizzard hit Buffalo. Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller found little fault in his teams performance. "Miller was the first star, and theres your answer right there," Muller said. "That was a complete, solid game on our part for 60 minutes. We did everything we had to do." Everything, of course, except score more than Buffalo. Miller put on a show. Early into the second period, he got a piece of Faulks snap shot from the left circle, and then recovered in time to turn aside Manny Malhotras attempt to convert the rebound in front. Miller had Hurricanes forward Jeff Skinner looking up to the rafters and shaking his head midway through the second period. That reaction came after Skinner got off a hard shot from the right circle on a partial break, only to have Miller snag it with his glove. "We had a lot of chances," said Staal, who beat Miller through the legs on a 2-on-1 break. "When its a close game, you have to be able to bury them. And tonight, Miller made a lot of good saves." Following the game, Miller spent time surrounded by fans at the penalty box, where he took part in a television interview. He then got a cheer from the few remaining fans inside the arena as he headed to the locker room about 10 minutes after the game ended. Whatever might happen over the next week, Miller has enjoyed his 12 years in Buffalo. "I love this area. The fans have always been great," he said. "If it happens that Im traded, Im preparing to play somewhere else. It all just comes to its going to be hockey."

Signs of a turnaround have emerged in this series at Minnesota. Brian Roberts had three doubles and a triple for the first four-extra-base-hit game of his 14-year career, and the Yankees used their bullpen to preserve a 6-5 win over the Twins on Friday.James Wade crashed out of the World Matchplay in the first round after a 10-5 defeat to Mervyn King in Blackpool. The sixth seed has previously reached the final on six occasions, but he produced a lacklustre performance as King completed a convincing victory at the Winter Gardens.But Gary Anderson, Adrian Lewis and Peter Wright are all safely through to the last-16 after they claimed opening wins on the second day of the tournament. A wasteful display of finishing from Wade began in the very first leg as three missed darts at a double allowed King to hold throw. King was clinical with his checkouts The experienced King was punishing regular errors from his erratic opponent and took out 100 on double 10 to establish a 4-1 lead.Wade was unable to close the gap, with King calmly compiling his checkouts, and the Suffolk man sunk his dart into double four to inflict an upset loss on Wade. Gary Anderson may have forgotten his darts ahead of his match but he was still too good for Alan Norris Second seeed Anderson had no such problems as he inflicted a crushing 10-1 defeat on Alan Norris.dddddddddddd.The Scot would only allow Norris the opening leg, hitting 10 of his 15 shots at the double in a masterful performance.Anderson had struggled on past trips to the seaside resort, but strolled to victory on this occasion and treated the crowd to fine 139 finish.Lewis had earlier been given a few uncomfortable moments by former BDO World Champion Mark Webster in a 10-6 win. Adrian Lewis had some choice words for next opponent Gerwyn Price after beating Mark Webster in round one of the World Matchplay The Welshman held his own in the early stages, hitting double 12 to edge 5-4 in front.But Lewis would show glimpses of his class as he reeled off four legs in a row to set up another showdown with Gerwyn Price.Price won last years meeting in the quarter-finals and Lewis vowed to turn him over. In the closing match, Wright comfortably pulled clear of Joe Cullen to complete a 10-5 victory. Also See: Price not right for Kim MVG starts with 10-0 win The Wizard: Im still magic On Sky TV ' ' '
