Nothing builds confidence like a shutout.
Pulled from two of his previous five starts, Dominik Hasek made 34 saves for his fourth shutout of the season as the Buffalo Sabres recorded a 2-0 blanking of the slumping Ottawa Senators. But he stopped 20 shots in the second period and 12 in the third to nail down his 49th career shutout and fifth vs. the Senators. You could see the focus. He looked sharp right from the start. I don't think I was more concentrating than the last game.
