Phaneuf played a team-high 28 minutes 20 seconds, the third straight game in which he’s played at least 28 minutes. He also led the team with six hits. He hasn’t played less than 25 minutes in a game in a month, as coach Ron Wilson has relied on him even more since the departures of Francois Beauchemin and Tomas Kaberle.

Phaneuf might have been at his team-leading best when the Sabres — with the net empty — called a timeout. Phaneuf yapped and chatted at all his teammates, skating to Reimer, then player to player, offering encouragement.

His post-game demeanor in front of cameras may be staid, but on ice he’s the emotional polar opposite of Mats Sundin.

“We’ve got great leadership here,” said Reimer.
